Excellent questions... I feel a new draft coming on.

I believe the answer is that "copy-data" has no restrictions,
other than that the the user not exceed quota (of course.)

Of course if it is a huge operation, the server is permitted
to complete it out of order or out right refuse to do it.

Clarified in local sources.

I believe, since this is a local-to-local copy operation,
we should forbid the files to be opened for text transfer--
of course, with VMS having multiple different file local
file formats, perhaps you'd prefer something different?
What do you think it should do?

Ahh.. I see that my creative speller was at full throttle.
Fixed in local source.

Thanks,
