111001 - Follow up ref SDS 3 0000.
111002 -
111003 - Found procedure using xcopy to transfer files from CD ROM that has a
111004 - read only attribute, to a hard drive so the attribute is not
111005 - transferred to the hard drive.
111006 -
111007 -     [Also today talked to Microsoft. ref SDS 4 9077]
111008 -
111009 -     [On 990818 DOS solution use attribute command. ref SDS 5 8977]

111401 - Xcopy Transfers Files from CD without Attribute
111402 -
111403 - Follow up ref SDS 3 3952.
111404 -
111405 - This morning in San Francisco, I tested transferring files from a RW
111406 - CD ROM drive to CPU11.
111407 -
111408 - If we use Windows file management to drag and drop directories, the
111409 - Read only attribute is transferred from the CD ROM disk to the hard
111410 - drive, which caused our problems on 990816. ref SDS 3 3952
111411 -
111412 - If we use xcopy from a DOS prompt, the attribute is not transferred.
111413 -
111414 -  ..
111415 - For example...
111416 -
111417 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\01\*.* c:\sd\01\ /s   [Enter]
111418 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\03\*.* c:\sd\03\ /s   [Enter]
111419 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\wl\*.* c:\sd\wl\ /s   [Enter]
111420 -
111421 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\08\00101\*.* d:\sd\08\00101\ /s   [Enter]
111422 -
111423 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\08\00000\*.* e:\sd\08\00000\ /s   [Enter]
111424 -  ..
111425 -               C>xcopy j:\02\*.* f:\02\ /s   [Enter]
111426 -               C>xcopy j:\03\*.* f:\03\ /s   [Enter]
111427 -               C>xcopy j:\04\*.* f:\04\ /s   [Enter]
111428 -               C>xcopy j:\07\*.* f:\07\ /s   [Enter]
111429 -
111430 -  ..
111431 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\02\*.* h:\sd\02\ /s   [Enter]
111432 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\04\*.* h:\sd\04\ /s   [Enter]
111433 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\05\*.* h:\sd\05\ /s   [Enter]
111434 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\06\*.* h:\sd\06\ /s   [Enter]
111435 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\07\*.* h:\sd\07\ /s   [Enter]
111436 -               C>xcopy j:\sd\09\*.* h:\sd\09\ /s   [Enter]
111437 -
111438 - ...copies all of the files from sd 08 on the CD to the d drive and
111439 - does not assign the read only attribute, per xcopy application shown
111440 - below. ref SDS 0 435K
111441 -
111442 -  ..
111443 - How can we accomplish the same result with drag and drop?
111444 -
111445 -    [On 990818 could not locate a solution for using drag and drop that
111446 -    avoids assigning read only attribute, ref SDS 5 0785  The DOS
111447 -    attribute command will remove read only attribute from files
111448 -    globally, but not on directories, and we need to have all read only
111449 -    attributes removed. ref SDS 5 8977
111450 -
111451 -  ..
111452 - Will test drag and drop using Windows Explorer.
111453 -
111454 - Drag and drop with Explorer transfers the archive bit.
111455 -
111456 -

111458 - Xcopy command application
111459 -
111460 - Help for xcopy shows following usage....
111461 -
111462 - Copies files and directory trees.
111463 -
111464 - XCOPY source [destination] [/A | /M] [/D[:date]] [/P] [/S [/E]]
111465 -                            [/V] [/W] [/C] [/I] [/Q] [/F] [/L] [/H]
111466 -                            [/R] [/T] [/U] [/K] [/N] [/O] [/X] [/Y]
111467 -                            [/-Y] [/Z]
111468 -                            [/EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...]
111469 -    ..
111470 -   source       Specifies the file(s) to copy.
111471 -   destination  Specifies the location and/or name of new files.
111472 -   /A           Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
111473 -                doesn't change the attribute.
111474 -   /M           Copies only files with the archive attribute set,
111475 -                turns off the archive attribute.
111476 -   /D:m-d-y     Copies files changed on or after the specified date.
111477 -                If no date is given, copies only those files whose
111478 -                source time is newer than the destination time.
111479 -   /EXCLUDE:file1[+file2][+file3]...
111480 -                Specifies a list of files containing strings.  When any of the
111481 -                strings match any part of the absolute path of the file to be
111482 -                copied, that file will be excluded from being copied.  For
111483 -                example, specifying a string like \obj\ or .obj will exclude
111484 -                all files underneath the directory obj or all files with the
111485 -                .obj extension respectively.
111486 -   /P           Prompts you before creating each destination file.
111487 -   /S           Copies directories and subdirectories except empty ones.
111488 -   /E           Copies directories and subdirectories, including empty ones.
111489 -                Same as /S /E. May be used to modify /T.
111490 -   /V           Verifies each new file.
111491 -   /W           Prompts you to press a key before copying.
111492 -   /C           Continues copying even if errors occur.
111493 -   /I           If destination does not exist and copying more than one file,
111494 -                assumes that destination must be a directory.
111495 -   /Q           Does not display file names while copying.
111496 -   /F           Displays full source and destination file names while copying.
111497 -   /L           Displays files that would be copied.
111498 -   /H           Copies hidden and system files also.
111499 -   /R           Overwrites read-only files.
111500 -   /T           Creates directory structure, but does not copy files. Does not
111501 -                include empty directories or subdirectories. /T /E includes
111502 -                empty directories and subdirectories.
111503 -   /U           Copies only files that already exist in destination.
111504 -   /K           Copies attributes. Normal Xcopy will reset read-only attributes.
111505 -   /N           Copies using the generated short names.
111506 -   /O           Copies file ownership and ACL information.
111507 -   /X           Copies file audit settings (implies /O).
111508 -   /Y           Suppresses prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
111509 -                existing destination file.
111510 -   /-Y          Causes prompting to confirm you want to overwrite an
111511 -                existing destination file.
111512 -   /Z           Copies networked files in restartable mode.
111513 -
111514 -  ..
111515 - The switch /Y may be preset in the COPYCMD environment variable.
111516 - This may be overridden with /-Y on the command line.
