Now version .91

Given a pattern, will select one random file and copy it to the specified
file.

Originally  written  with  random  wbpatterns in mind.  Could be other
uses, such as fortune cookies or quotes.  Maybe a slideshow?

Suggested usage would be go like this:

randomcopy FROM prefs:presets/patterns/~(#?.info) TO env:sys/wbpattern.prefs

 When  executed  in  your  startup-sequence, a random pattern would be
selected for the workbench.  This could also be a palette, pointer, or
set of fonts.

Update includes support for

   CLONE  Copies comment, date, and protection bits.
   BUFFER Sets size of copy buffer.
  MINWAIT \
  MAXWAIT  Ability to wait definable times between copies.
LONGBREAK  /
 USETICKS /

Also, ReadArgs has been utilized for more reliable argument parsing.


A  minor  update to fix a random seed problem.  A seed can be saved to
the  S:   directory  by  specifing  a "RNDFILE" keyword on the command
line.   This  is  to  get  a  better  random-ness  to users without an
internal clock.
