Bullshit. If you're going to rail against something at least get the history correct. System III Unix in 1982 had neither memcpy came with System V in about 1983 bcopy came with 4.2 bsd in about 1983 If you grew up with BSD then bcopy was your friend. If you grew up with System V then memcpy was your friend. It is as simple as that. Whichever one you learned first tend to be the "natural" order, with the other somehow unnatural. Until SVR4 and 4.4 BSD there wasn't much choice... you used the one that came with your release. /\/\arc
