    _\bT_\bc_\bo_\bp_\by is designed to copy magnetic tapes.        The only assump-
    tion made about the tape is that there are two tape marks at
    the end.  _\bT_\bc_\bo_\bp_\by with only a source tape (r\brm\bmt\bt0\b0 by default)
    specified will print information about the sizes of records
    and tape files.  If a destination is specified a copy will
    be made of the source tape.  The blocking on the destination
    tape will be identical to that used on the source tape.
    Copying a tape will yield the same output as if just print-
    ing the sizes.

    The -\b-s\bs option allows you to specify a maximum block size.
    The -\b-v\bv option verifies that two tapes are identical.  The -\b-c\bc
    option does the copy and then verifies that the two tapes
    are identical.
