Conceptualy, that's the way to do it. I've actually written programs
that let me do the same thing interactively, with file browser buttons,
etc. I hate writing command lines. I'd rather write C++ code once then
use a GUI to do what you do with xcopy a thousand times with a mouse. My
UNIX son thinks I'm a whimp.
