Highlights of this release:
1. The first release version of the the 21th century!!!
2. "Wild-Wild-Source", the new multi-level multiple-wildcard
source specifier which greatly enhances the way you can
express the source. You can say like
XXCOPY C:\Windows\*\*cache*\*\img\*.jpg \mydst\ /S
3. Alternate file template specifier ("Include") (/IN<template>)
Now, you may include more than one file templates like:
XXCOPY C:\*.jpg /IN*.gif /IN*.bmp /IN*.mp3 \mydst\ /S
This example includes all .JPG, .GIF .BMP, and .MP3 files.
4. Enhanced exclusion specifier. Exclusion of directories
now can be the whole or partial (1-level files, or subdirs)
with multi-level option. Total of 11 classes of exclusion
syntaxes are provided for increased variety in exclusion
specifier. Here are examples of what you can say
/X*\mydir\ /Xmydir\?\* /Xmydir\*\*.doc /Xmydir\*\cache\
5. New switches added /IA /IP /EC /CE (see XXTB #19).
6. New switch, /DL<n> limits the directory nesting to n levels.
7. New switch, /SP which allows you to span a backup job over
multiple removable media (floppy, CD-R)..
Highlights of recent releases:
8. Detects Adaptec's DirectCD drive to automatically disable
the shortname-preservation feature (due to incompatible
shortname synthesis by the file system, it is not possible
to preserve the shortname) (/NX0 automatically added)
9. /CK/CK0 controls the pre-check of remaining space on the drive.

The newsgroups above are listed by the approximate size of the discussion
group (the smallest one first). Which one do we recommend? For a small
focused discussion, alt.msdos.batch
may be good, but
if you want someone to answer your question quickly, the largest one,
alt.windows98
seems to be the best choice.

If someone posts a misleading suggestion or wrong information regarding XXCOPY, we will try to post a message to correct it. In general, newsgroups are a great source of helpful tips.
We are hoping that in the future, there will be enough users who form the XXCOPY discussion group of its own. One day...
