I have some questions and observations
  - this doesnt copy files that start with .  - how can you get it to do 
this?
  - a -v option might be useful to display what you are doing
  - it assumes that directory B exists (otherwise it tries to write to a 
file called B, and fails if there is more than one file in A).
  - what is the difference between using ./A and plain A ?
