A couple of new utilities, contributed by Steve van Aardt. They are called
fcp and unzip. Description:


Contents: fcp

  This is a protected disk copier for machines with >800K or
workspace (ie 420's +).  It's about as fast as *BACKUP and has
a reasonable success rate - if like me yu want to protect you
investment it's worth using.  The original program (pretty
crude - well it still is) was written by H. Rogers of UnixLib
fame, I have made it somewhat easier to use, and will soon 
produce a version which works in as much memory as is available.

Contents   : unzip

Description: This is the executable 'unzip' - a program
             to extract files from a zip archive file,
             such as that created by PKZIP.

To retrieve a file from the archive, send a message to 
info-server@newcastle.ac.uk with the following content:

line-limit 1000
request: sources
topic: archimedes filename
request: end

where filename is replaced by the name of the file that you want.
A filename of 'index' will send you the latest index file.
