     Sprite 2.077 pc386
     
             Welcome to Sprite
     
     root@cherimoya [1] # cp --version
     GNU fileutils 3.9
     root@cherimoya [2] # cp --help | grep recurs
       -r                           copy recursively, non-directories as files
       -R, --recursive              copy directories recursively
     root@cherimoya [3] #
   

   I'll take the honorary title of nobody ;-)

            Nothing you can't fix if you have root. :)
