What is ltmp and dcopy?

[Bill Irwin]

Before  I  go wading through obscure portions of the manual, I wonder  if
someone  could  briefly  describe these two functions.  I  am  trying  to
determine the reason that an Altos 1000 running Altos UNIX V has become a
dog after new application software was loaded.

One  of the SAR reports indicates that there is a disk bottleneck and the
man  page  suggests  1)  set  sticky bits;   2)  balance  the  disk  load
(impractical  because  all users run the same application software);   3)
use ltmp;  4) run dcopy.

I've  never  heard of ltmp and dcopy.  Are they well documented  commands
and  I should just RTM, or are they esoteric black holes - waiting for an
unsuspecting soul to stumble into an abyss of guru mumbo jumbo?

I  don't mind *jumping* into a black hole once in a while - as long as  I
have  a  light and a reasonable basis for believing it isn't  bottomless.

Thanks for any suggestions.
