It might just be the name. Reminds me of c3po.

Anyway that's a good lead. I just tried it out and it copies (and creates)
the entire path in the destination directory, i.e

  ~/Find/test/./.netscape/cache/00/cache0123456.html

I probably need to use the depth option for 'find'. And read up, which I
haven't done yet, on cpio.
