NAME

cpdb - copy a FirstBase database to a new file name

DESCRIPTION

Cpdb is a simple shell script that copies a FirstBase database and all necessary support files to a new destination. The copy is done interactively using the -i option of cp(1). Cpdb will ask permission to destroy existing files.

Formally, three files are copied: the database itself, the database dictionary, and the database record map. The source files are not removed.

FILES

*.cdb
FirstBase database.

*.ddict
FirstBase database dictionary.

*.map
record map of FirstBase database.
