We encountered the docopy problem when we first installed INGRES 5.0
under BSD UNIX (then 4.2, now 4.3).  RT acknowledged the problem and
sent us a fixed version of docopy, which works as quickly as it had in
previous versions.

If you are running BSD UNIX, you probably do not want to wait for the
next INGRES maintenance release, which has been due out for quite some
time now.  I suggest you call Tech Support at RT to have them send you
the docopy fix on a tape or via uucp.
