If only my batch file--which uses xcopy32 to copy some
files from a CD to a set location on a PC, knew that then
it might update itself for use on Win XP. Now I have to re-
write the batch file but are not sure how for use on XP.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

The XCopy32 command still exists and it's usage hasn't changed much. Type
xcopy32 /? from the command prompt for usage...
