I thought Les did a mighty fine job of addressing the issue. It was
clear, concise, informative, suitable for archive and non-judgmental.

The last time I ever used dd was to create boot-floppies back in the day
from a disk image. Otherwise, cp does the job of copying files, not dd.
As Les pointed out it copies blocks as opposed to files. The entire
episode was kinda like watching someone using a pipe wrench to put up a
picture frame on the wall. The group just wanted the OP to grab a
hammer. 

Live long and prosper. Ric
