Callable copy has been discussed several times on INFO-VAX. The opinions
differ, whether DEC should make a LIB$COPY_FILE or not.

The simple COPY with no qualifiers are easy to program (see below).

      SUBROUTINE LIB$COPY_FILE(FNM1,FNM2)
      CHARACTER*(*) FNM1
      CHARACTER*(*) FNM2
      CALL CONV$PASS_FILES(FNM1,FNM2)
      CALL CONV$PASS_OPTIONS
      CALL CONV$CONVERT
      RETURN
      END
