While fiddling with the Arachne/ARA-PDF difficulty that I've been reporting on, I found that XCOPY has some lingering problems.
The first thing I noticed was a problem copying the C:\GS tree (GhostScript). It has sub-directories named GS.705 and FONTS. XCOPY will only copy C:\GS\*.*. The problem is apparently a rejection of directories with numbered extensions, since it successfully copies other directories elsewhere with letter extensions. The second problem was in the FDOS tree. (In the past, XCOPY refused to copy large chunks of the FDOS tree, but that seems to have been mostly solved.) I tried copying the whole FDOS tree just because of my past experience with the problem there. I found that XCOPY copied the entire tree except for the PACKAGES sub-directory. The only thing remarkable I notice about PACKAGES is that it has 198 sub-directories. --John Hupp ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
