Re: [Bug-apl] Request: quad-COPY (needed to implement package manager)

[enztec]

Hi David,

I make a fns that copies fns and vars and my data from 'regular linux' files 
(not created by )DUMP - only real difference is no #! first line) using FILE_IO

fp ← 'r' FILE_IO[24] 'cat workspaces/',fn
and then parsed the a←5000 FILE_IO[8] fp

so far i can import fns and vars and my data - the apl chars had to be parsed
so far i can export my data (i don't need to export fns or vars - but i see the 
need sometime)

I haven't installed the fix in the svn found by Kacper in the FILE_IO so my 
code is for my svn 220 only
