What were you trying to do?
A user inadvertently typed:
cc file1 file2
as opposed to
cp file1 file2
What's wrong:
file1 was erased, and cc ONLY gave an error that file2
did not exist
What should have happened:
file1 should not have been erased. on a DEC5000/133 it
just gave an error that file1 was not C code, which makes
more sense.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
