   AG>  NA> procedure SAFECOPY (fromFile, toFile : string);   
   AG>    
   AG> this only copies 64 bytes at a time (should be something closer to the   
   AG> filesystem block size, or if it's unknown the best guess is 4096). i.e: thi   
   AG> function likely reads the disk 64 times per 4096 bytes instead of 1x   
      
   I'm sure the whole thing can be improved, it was an example from a collection   
   of code dating back to... TP 5.5 I think.
