There is a command on Berkeley systems called "install" which copies
a file, changes its modes, does careful copying, maybe even does owner
changes, and which some software distributions use. In such cases, it
is necessary to hand edit every use of the "install" command in a
makefile to the appropriate cp, mv, chown, chmod, chgrp, etc...
commands. What a nuisance.
Anyone got such a command for Xenix (or SysV in general?)
Thanks
