+/* bcopy -- copy memory regions of arbitary length
+
+NAME
+	bcopy -- copy memory regions of arbitrary length
+
+SYNOPSIS
+	void bcopy (char *in, char *out, int length)
+
+DESCRIPTION
+	Copy LENGTH bytes from memory region pointed to by IN to memory
+	region pointed to by OUT.
+
+BUGS
+	Significant speed improvements can be made in some cases by
+	implementing copies of multiple bytes simultaneously, or unrolling
+	the copy loop.
