copied? When a "backup" is done?
I don't know, but it's never mattered:
Use the DIRMAINT commands SEND and FILE: SEND can send EXTENT CONTROL
to your reader, and FILE sends it back to DIRMAINT, who figures out
where it goes. Don't try to directly manage any of DIRMAINT'S files
after the initial setup, but rely on the DIRM commands instead.
