Yeah, make one copy of the base file content w/o the first line then
create a new file w/ the initial line and use OS COPY command to copy
the rest to it from the one source.

Or, if the file isn't terribly large, read it all (again w/o the first
line) into memory and then just create each new file, write the specific
line and then the remainder.
