2008-11-03 Thread kurt godel
Here's a dumb question about the 'xcopy ' command: I have a source directory called 's', and a destination directory called 'd'; Both of them are in the same directory, say 'c'. If I do: cd d, then xcopy s /s /e, I get a cyclic error; but if I am more explicit and use(again from inside 'd'): xcopy
