     COPCOM will either -copy- or -compare-  two file areas using only their
location and length.  (If the areas are in fact named files, OCOMP is a much
better utility for comparisons,  largely because of the superior output for-
mat, and then there is EPIC...)  COPCOM uses the '=N' option only to specify
the -number- of blocks to copy (or compare).  The starting block is cleverly
decoded from the 'filename' specification, i.e.  'RXA1:70' is interpreted as
'block 70 on floppy number 1' (the start of file storage on a system device)
This applies to the -output specification- as well, so you can do 'block-to-
block' copies if you wish (you had better know what you are doing, however!)
Specifying the '/F' (file) switch  returns you to the normal output filename
interpretation  so you can copy (as with RECOVR) any number of blocks into a
named file.  The '/C' switch specifies 'copy' instead of 'compare' (both be-
gin with 'C', so you will just have to remember this one!) although it would
seem that the program should be able to distinguish between these operations
