- 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/XP 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.

-
- Once you download the distribution file (usually named like
- xxcopy.zip or xxfw2859.zip), unzip it into a temporary
- directory (e.g., c:\temp).
-
-
- The package contains the following files:
-
- README.TXT ; this file
- INSTALL.BAT ; run this batch program without an argument
- UIXXCOPY.BAT ; uninstall the XXCOPY*.EXE files
- XXCOPY.EXE ; 32-bit Win 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP compatible program
- XXPBAR.EXE ; The Progress Bar display module
- XXCOPY16.EXE ; a 16-bit DOS program
- PAD_FILE.XML ; PAD (Portable Application Description) file
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
- NOTE: If you are a licensee of the XXCOPY PRO Edition, and are
- interested in updating your copy of XXCOPY with the newer
- version, this package is probably not for you. This
- package contains the XXCOPY Freeware which is not the same
- thing as the XXCOPY-PRO Edition even with the presence of
- the license (XXCOPY.LIC) file. You must obtain your
- update package directly from XXCOPY's home page. If you
- have any question, please contact Pixelab for details.
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
- To install the XXCOPY Freeware package, make current the temporary
- directory where the above files are stored; for example, at the
- user prompt of a DOS Box run the following command:
-
- CD c:\temp
-
- Then, run the INSTALL.BAT program without any argument
-
- INSTALL
-
- The batch program is equivalent to "XXCOPY /INSTALL" but it
- will generate a few extra help text at the completion of
- the "XXCOPY /INSTALL" operation.
-
- As a self-sufficient program, the XXCOPY.EXE (or XXCOPY16.EXE)
- file can be placed (and executed) at any directory, or even
- renamed to other name when appropriate without adverse effect.
- In most circumstances, it is best to keep it in a directory which
- is in the "PATH=" Environment variable so that the program is
- readily available whatever the current directory setting is
- at any give time.
-
-
-
- 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
-
- xxcopy /helpa | more (for alphabetic listing)
-
-
- 3. Web-based documentation (The most complete of the three).
-
- Visit the following web site:
-
- http://www.xxcopy.com
-
- And look for documentation and update information.
