This sounds awfully like the XCOPY command from MSDOS.  Are you sure your 
PCNFS installation doesn't come with cp.bat that calls XCOPY?

And btw, I think cp to a device won't work, because `access' fails on 
devices.  I have a patch for `access' to fix that, but you can always 
redirect the output instead, or use cat > prn instead of cp.
