subject: Copying files and EA`s...

Hi Folks,

I wanted to automate the copying of files from one machine to another using
REXX when a thought struck me. 

If a file has EA's, does the OS/2 COPY command copy EA's - 
 1. Between a file copied to the SAME partition?
 2. Between partitions/drives on the same machine?
 3. Between machines connected using OS/2 Peer Services? 

I would expect 1 to be YES, 2 to be YES, 3 possibly...

Can similar/better functionality be performed using REXX commands, ensuring
that EA's are also copied in each of the above situations?

NB: I do not want to split off EA's and re-combine them later...

Cheers...............pk.
