When you run XCOPY /? it shows /D:M-D-Y as an optional switch. If you use
the M-D-Y syntax with the /D switch, the following error message appears:
The syntax of the command is incorrect.

xcopy /d:m/d/y
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.5. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
