FYI, under Win98, the two files "xcopy.exe" and "xcopy32.exe" are just
two copies of the exact same file. This wasn't true under pre-Win98
Windows versions. Under Win98, running either program just calls up the
related file, "xcopy.mod."
User "kline" has indicated that he or she is using Win98, so this tip
would apply to him/her.
