[mtools] "mcopy myfile . " disasters

[Stephen Tashiro]

There is probably no good reason for anyone to type the command  "mcopy 
myfile .", but I have done such a thing several times accidentally when 
meaning "mcopy myfile a:" or something similar.  The result is that 
myfile becomes a file of zero bytes.   I'd suggest that mcopy produce an 
error message to the effect of "cannnot copy a file onto itself" rather 
than destroying myfile.
