Re: [CGUYS] Transferring files using DOS
The beauty of xcopy is that it also copies access control lists of the files and folders. I use it when moving large numbers of files/folders between servers and I don't have to reapply permissions when I'm done. I just wish it copied the share information too. -Original Message- I do not use it all anymore. I would never recommend it at all. As I said earlier I used it way back when, but the OS has outgrown it's usefulness. Use explorer or one of the after market shells to do this. Or use a migration program to make backups etc. * == QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in == * == the body of an email send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] == * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

And in general I would prefer the longer message trailer. Even for those on dialup, with 56k modems, the trailer takes little time to transmit, and little space on today's disks. Why? Most people seem to ignore it. I think so much text tends to get ignored. Perhaps less text may be read more often. I also thought we needed a second mode of communication that was independent of AOL's server, just in case. I think you have too much time on your hands. Hardly, but I did want to see how quickly Google pages could set up a page. The answer is: very quickly.

Re: [CGUYS] Wikipedia defies 180,000 demands to remove images of the Prophet
The other year when the cartoon thing was an issue I asked one of our users to take down the image.

[CGUYS] Subject: Re: CGUYS.ORG Footer Updated
I also applaud the shorter footer. The old one was particularly bad for those of us who get the digest version of the list. I've always been a little annoyed at having to scroll past the nearly 2 inches of footer in each message, not to mention all the extra ones in quotes and quotes of quotes, etc.* While I'm grousing about it, is it possible to configure the digest so that the footer only appears at the end of the digest and not at the end of each message? I agree with those who say that the footer should have a complete url that most mail applications will turn into a active link.
