	The biggest bane to COPY/MOVE is the field mismatching possibility
where somebody may have added or changed a field in either the master file
or the archive file, and not made a corresponding change to the other file.

	So, I would like to see a command like:

COPY (or MOVE) checkfields|nocheck

which would give an error if the field lengths and edits of the two files
did not match.

	For compatability with existing code, I guess just adding the
checkfields option would be the best thing to do.
