[LC++]Copying files and deleting directories

[Jan Pfeifer]

there is no system call or standard c library function to copy files. To 
avoid researching about ideal buffer sizes and whatever other details 
that may be involved in copying files -- the source for the gnu cp 
program is quite big --, I'd recommend using:

/* see "system" c function: man 3 system */
system( "/bin/cp source_file target_file" );

unfortunately this solution is probably not portable outside the unix 
environment. But then, this is a linux-c++ list :)

best luck,

jan
