             Simply, a Logical Extension to XCOPY.

   XXCOPY is simply a logical extension to XCOPY.  It remains
   faithfully compatible with XCOPY in the invocation syntax,
   yet, adds many innovative features to be a very serious
   utility for anyone who feels comfortable in managing files
   in command line mode (DOS Box).  XXCOPY has grown to be not
   just a file copy program but also a file removal, search and
   list utility.  Its short name preserving capability makes it
   ideal to clone a system disk which can be made bootable.
   XXCOPY runs under Windows 95/98/NT/2000 and comes with a
   16-bit version XXCOPY16 which allows copying files in DOS
   envrionment using short name only (to be later expanded to
   long name).  You may also use it for synchronizing systems.
   In short, it is an industrial strenth utility for system
   administrators.

  This package contains two executable files:

  README.TXT     ; this file
  INSTALL.BAT    ; copies the XXCOPY*.EXE files into a directory  
  UIXXCOPY.BAT   ; uninstall the XXCOPY*.EXE files
  XXCOPY.EXE     ; a 32-bit Windows 95/98/NT compatible program
  XXCOPY16.EXE   ; a 16-bit DOS program

  You may place the executable files in any directory.  But, it
  is strongly recommended that you place them into a tool directory
  where you keep all miscellaneous utilities (such as \BIN) which
  is listed in the environment variable, "PATH", 
  
  If your system do not have such a directory for tools, place the
  XXCOPY*.EXE files into c:\Windows\command.  As a matter of fact,
  it will be the default directory for Install/Uninstall batch
  files provided in this package.



Documentations for the programs are available in three ways.


1. Short command switch summary.

     Run XXCOPY/XXCOPY16 with the /? switch.
    
       Example:    xxcopy /?


2. Full command switch display.

     Run XXCOPY/XXCOPY16 with the /help switch.
     Since the output is more than one page, it is
     best you view one page at a time with "| MORE"
    
       Example:    xxcopy /help | more
 

3. Web-based documentation (The most complete of the three).

     Visit the following web site:
     
       http://www.xxcopy.com/xxcopy/

     And look for documentation and update information.
