Introduction
Qcopy is a contributed program that reads and writes Qedit files. Qedit files exist in a special compressed format which can only be read by Qedit or software such as Qcopy that has been modified to read them. Qcopy is used to convert files to and from Qedit’s special format.
Along with Qcopy we provide a stand-alone routine named Qeditaccess that provides the actual decoding of Qedit files. You may merge this routine into your own programs if you wish. The code is available in both compatibility-mode and native-mode formats.
Qcopy is also used to recover Qedit files that have been corrupted. While this happens rarely, Qcopy is the only program which can recover the lines of a Qedit file.
Qcopy is part of the Robelle QLIB, a set of contributed tools included with Robelle software at no extra charge. You may use Qcopy, even if you are not licensed to use Qedit.
