copy large files in Rev on Mac

[Chipp Walters]

Trevor,

Windows has the following function in their api:

CopyFile(FROM, TO, OVERWRITE)
 [CORE] The Win32::CopyFile() function copies an existing file to a
new file. All file information like creation time and file attributes
will be copied to the new file.

This sort of function has been present in api's (including system 9
Macs) since I've been programming. I just don't understand why it's
Rev's fault that Apple's current OS doesn't support something as basic
as "copyfile" for ALL their files?

At the least, it appears a good candidate for a third party library
from someone here.

best,
Chipp
