Subject: Copying between file servers

I was doing a drag and drop copy from the filesnore to an A4000, but get
directory full messages on some of the directories. Also, I wanted to
preserve the file attributes and permissions.

My thought was to use a Master128 to Copy from filesnore to Level4 on the
A4000, but wasn't sure how I could use Netmgr with 
Fileserver number:disc:directory etc etc.

Zip might be the only way.
