[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60406] copyfile() fails with "Cannot perform a cyclic copy" with octave-cli.exe under Windows

[Horshack]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #60406 (project octave):

[comment #1 comment #1:]
> IIUC, `octave-cli.exe` shouldn't be run directly unless you make sure that
the necessary environment variables are set globally.

> Instead you should start the CLI either with the `octave.vbs` in OCTAVE_HOME
or with `octave.bat` in the bin directory. Either of those will set the
necessary environment variables.

Thanks for the quick reply. I was completely unaware octave.bat was required
to launch the cli (or alternately, that it required environmental variables to
be set). Completely user error on my part - I apologize. When using octave.bat
the copyfile() error disappears. It also fixes the hang I was experiencing
when running copyfile() inside a larger script. Thanks again for your help.
