Pretty close. In essence, to make a copy. It's actually an old word. IBM "borrowed" it in the 60's (maybe 70's) and created a program called Data Interfile Transfer, Testing and Operations Utility. Maybe showing my age but back in the ol' mainframe days we used Ditto to make copies of tape and disk files.

Thanks. I've been thinking about doing something for awhile. I have a rod pod and I don't want to limit being able to stick rods in. I may go with pool noodles parallel to the boat and slice them to hold rods. Should keep larger items from sliding and provide some cushion for the rods to keep them from sliding around in the surf.Used to fish more.
