I just stumbled over this old bug report referring to xcopy:
https://sourceforge.net/p/freedos/bugs/346/
It is still active. means: It can happen that only some files will be copied, others not.

Answering my own question on this:
*We're all volunteers, if you see a new version of a program and no one is talking about it, share that news on the email list.
I don't know that anyone was aware of an updated version of Xcopy (1.5). So this was just missed.
I think we should include Xcopy 1.5 in the next test release, T2403.

I noticed over on the BTTR forum, Fritz asked this question about Xcopy 1.5. But freedos-devel is really the best place to discuss FreeDOS distribution topics, so I wanted to start a thread here to make sure the question was asked in the right place:Fritz asked:>>>[...]
version 1.5
-----------
- improved Open Watcom support (utilizes pieces from TCC2WAT), shared.inc
In xcopy.txt you can read:
Compiling the source code
-------------------------
Compiling the source code is possible with the following compilers:
- Borland C++ (tm) 3.0 or higher
- Borland Turbo C++ (tm) 3.0 or higher
Version 1.2 and newer can also be compiled with the now freeware
- Borland Turbo C 2.01 compiler :-)
Version 1.5 and newer
- Open Watcom C/C++ 1.9/2.0pre (includes portions of tcc2wat)
So my question: Is it useful to implement version 1.5 into the future FDT24xx versions?
