How about Kermit? Ok, perhaps it isn't "very simple", but versions of
it seem to run on nearly anything from PC-DOS to CP/M, RT-11,
PERQs. VAXen and UNIX boxes, etc. One can do some nifty things with
it and scripting. I suspect that you may be familiar with it, and it
might not be what you're looking for, but in case you somehow managed
to overlook it with other things on your mind, I'm mentioning it.

Good luck with the copying and thanks for the offer. Although I've
seen Bernouly boxes at hamfests, for some reason, I've avoided them,
