ZCOPY V3.1, Copyright (C) 1993-94 by Chris Buijs


ZCOPY is a small directory/file-copy utility i wrote because i needed a
copy-program like XCOPY for installation purposes, the only thing was
that XCOPY always overwrite files even when the source/target file are
the same, i needed a copy-utility that skipped files that are the same,
so i wrote ZCOPY and added some more options.

USAGE


ZCOPY preserves file-date/time and attributes, the target-file will have
the same date/time and attributes as the source-file after a copy.


Syntax: ZCOPY [] []


- Source directory and file-specs to copy from.

- Target directory to copy to, DON'T specify any
file-specs, you can supply full paths which do
not exist, ZCOPY will create all non-existant
directory's automatically, this parameter is
optional, when not given the current directory
is taken as target.

/A - With this parameter you instruct ZCOPY to only
copy files which have the archive-attribute set,
it will be un-set after the copy.
