           Summary: Copy disallows copying to/from special device files like
                    con and nul.
           Product: ReactOS
           Version: 0.3.5
          Platform: QEmu
        OS/Version: ReactOS
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Shell
        AssignedTo: ros-bugs at reactos.org
        ReportedBy: romkenijkamp at gmail.com

The CLI copy command disallows copying files from/to special device files like
con and nul. Windows does allow this for the copy command.

For example, if entering this on windows:
copy con nul
The copy process would ask the user for input until Control-Z or Control-C was
pressed. When pressing Control-C windows would fail the Input/Output operation.

When entering the same command on ReactOS it gives the error:
ERROR_INVALID_NAME - The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is
incorrect.

KVM Version: QEMU PC emulator version 0.9.1 (kvm-62)
ReactOS Version: 0.3.5 Installation/Boot Image
