a slim holiday present, cpic

Hi All,

    don't know if this is useful to you or whether you've already written it yourself but I finally caved and wrote a shell command that copies an image/changes file pair, replacing the hundreds of times I've issued the two parallel commands, cpic = copy image and changes.  Happy holidays

-------8<-------

#!/bin/sh

# copy image and changes

force=0

if [ "$1" = -f ]; then

    force=1

    shift

fi

if [ $# != 2 -o "$1" = "-?" -o "$1" = --help ]; then

    echo "usage: $0 [-f] image-name-no-ext [image-name-no-ext|dir]"

    test $# != 2 && exit 1

    exit 0

fi

if [ -f "$2.image" -o -f "$2.changes" ]; then

    if [ "$force" = 0 ]; then

        echo "$2.image and/or $2.changes already exist." 1>&2

        exit 1

    fi

elif [ -d "$2" ]; then

    if [ -f "$2/$1.image" -o -f "$2/$1.changes" ]; then

        if [ "$force" = 0 ]; then

            echo "$2/$1.image and/or $2/$1.changes already exist." 1>&2

            exit 1

        fi

    fi

    cp "$1.image" "$1.changes" "$d"

    exit 0

fi

cp "$1.image" "$2.image"

cp "$1.changes" "$2.changes"
