Ahhh. Win95 and forward do support the /y flag. Since WinNT does not, I'll revert the change that presumed our modern command.com/cmd.exe based xcopy'ies all work.
Expect a fix in .37 - thanks for the report! Bill At 12:11 PM 5/10/2002, you wrote: >Hello Sir, > >I sent this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] a couple days ago.
