Sorry to followup to my own post, but my example has a bug. You don't
want your interactive shell to expand the *.z. So, it should be:
shtool move -e "*.z" %1.Z
If you do get the shtool package, here's a fun shell function to add
to your shell's (sh/ksh/bash) startup file:
function copy()
{
cat $1 | tee $2 | shtool prop -p "Copying"
}
(more robust arg checking left as an exercise for the reader ;-)
