Presumably using BGET#, BPUT# ? I had a quick go at something like that,
but it was very slow!

Select source filing system, OPENIN the file on the source.
Select destination filing system, OPENOUT new file on the target.
Read in some data from source, write it out to target, keep going until 
you reach the EOF.
Close files.

I think the SJ util "copier" would do what you want. Came with the MDFS,

but works for any filing system.

I'm not sure is *move on a master would do it, as I've never used it.
Does *move also delete the old file, as its name would suggest?

Cheers

Chris
