## Advanced Copy ##
Advanced Copy is a mod for the GNU cp and GNU mv tools which adds a progress
bar and provides some info on what's going on. It was written by Florian Zwicke
and released under the GPL.
This repository exists because the original website
(http://beatex.org/web/advancedcopy.html) appears to be dead. You can still
find it via the Internet Archive:

advcpmv-0.5-8.21.patch was the last patch released by the author (on February
14, 2013). advcpmv-0.6-8.24.patch is simply a rebase of that on top of the 8.24
version of coreutils.
