Copying ppt slides still not implemented.

Below is a sample code which demonstrates the idea.

    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        //new presentation to copy to
        SlideShow dst = new SlideShow();

        SlideShow src_ppt = new SlideShow(new FileInputStream(args[0]));
        Slide[] src_slide = src_ppt.getSlides();
        for (int i = 0; i < src_slide.length; i++) {
            Slide dst_slide = dst.createSlide();
            System.out.println("copying from " + src_slide[i].getTitle());
            Shape[] src_shape = src_slide[i].getShapes();
            for (int j = 0; j < src_shape.length; j++) {
                dst_slide.addShape(src_shape[j]);
            }
        }

        FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(args[0].replaceAll("\\.ppt", "-copy.ppt"));
        dst.write(out);
        out.close();
    }

Note, this code doesn't work in all cases. Rich text info may be lost,
picture data is not copied and will be lost, etc. I will see if I can
add this functionality by next release.
