Hello Robert - 

--8<--cut 

CA>>> My W2K install does have "xcopy, xcopy32, and another
CA>>> xcopy.mod" in the C:\WINNT\system32 directory. :-) 

RF>> Yes, but they can be used only from within Windows. That
RF>> won't meet the requirements JP is seeking. How would you

CA>> I have never used xcopy nor xxcopy to clone/backup or

RF> I wouldn't either, but that's not the answer that I would

"I wouldn't" is quite clear IMO. 

CA>> Your comment was overly broad when you said, "Neither of

RF> In the context of the usage discussed in the thread, the
RF> comment didn't need any qualification. Based on the replies

RF> them, at least. ;-) 

Based on some of the replies most were confused as to which
'xcopy' was being discussed. Some thought Microsoft's xcopy
while others seemed to think third party XXcopy was being
discussed. Intuitively confused? 

RF> But thanks for your concern. BTW, his name is Parrot.
RF> Surely that shouldn't be so difficult for you. 

He _is_ a bit 'difficult' for me.
