A.1 tcopy: Table Format Converter

tcopy is a table copying tool. It simply copies a table from one place to another, but since you can specify the input and output formats as desired, it works as a converter from any of the supported input formats to any of the supported output formats.

tcopy is designed as a drop-in replacement for the old tablecopy (uk.ac.starlink.table.TableCopy) tool which was supplied with STIL and TOPCAT - it has the same arguments and behaviour as tablecopy, but is implemented on top of tpipe and will in some cases be more efficient.
