I'm not implementing copy at the moment as I lack knowledge. I might
just write the default open/while(){write}/close method for cases when
everything else fails.
BTW, it will go for File.pmc accordingly with Leo.

Is this still a system call in Mac OS X?
Yes, the original FSpExchangeFiles() call persists along with most of
the calls pertaining to FSSpecs. New code written only for Mac OS 9 and
above could also use the newer FSRef-based FSExchangeObjects() call
which subsumes it.
