GNU Developers:I would like to make a suggestion for the "cp" command. As we all know, the cp command accepts two arguments (cp SRC DEST). Could someone add a little feature to give the cp command an interesting feature that the "copy" command on DOS uses? On DOS, when "copy" is given one argument (the source file), the command will assume the destination is the current working directory. Can such a feature be added to "cp"? It is awful that a command by Microsuck has an awesome feature that no Unix, Linux, or GNU guru has added to the popular GNU-coreutils command. Also, if such a feature is added to "cp", can "mv" also get the same feature?
Thanks, Devyn Collier Johnson address@hidden
