Well, I put something to that effect because that's still I have to go
on...  My program exits with an EOF when it shouldn't...  I tried it in
binary mode and it didn't work at all... (read 0 bytes) so maybe I'm doing
something wrong there...  

The thing is, I want it to be an all purpose copy class eventually and
maybe evolve into embedded compression/decompression and large
data/library files.. But if I can't even copy a file I don't see how
that'll happen :)
