Re:realistic fleets

What a strange question for a miniatures games mailing list!

If you're using UNIX, the "-p" flag should preserve the permissions.
>From the SunOS man page for cp (1):

     -p, --preserve
	  Preserve the original files' owner, group, permissions,
	  and timestamps.

     -R, --recursive
	  Copy directories recursively.

If you're using a different flavor of UNIX, you should read the man page
to see if the same flags will work.
