Problem
The xcopy you use isn't in all DOS brands.
Much like the problems we've discussed before, my MS-DOS machine does
not automagically function the way your DOS does when it comes to
Arachne ... which is one reason I want to KEEP my DOS version. When it
comes time to truly fine tune, we have to be certain that Arachne works
with ALL DOS versions, not just certain ones.
Assumptions based upon person experience/preferences can kill the best
laid plans of techs and coders.

No problem..... Xcopy can do that.
XCOPY R1.52 Extended file copy
Copyright (c) 1987,1996 Caldera, Inc. All rights reserved.
XCOPY [/Help] [@][d:][path][filename[.ext]] [d:][path][filename[.ext]] [opts]
The first file specification is the drive, path and name of file(s) to be
copied (wildcard filenames allowed). This specification must be present.
Use '@' to specify that the given file contains a list of files to be copied.
The second file specification is the destination drive and path to which files
will be copied. Files will be renamed if a destination filename is specified.
/A only copy files with the archive attribute
/D the destination specifies a directory
/D:mm-dd-yy only copy files modified since specified date
/E allow empty subdirectories to be created
/F the destination specifies a file
/H copy files with hidden or system attributes
/L copy the disk volume label as well as specified files
/M only copy files with the archive attribute, reset the attribute
/P prompt before copying each file
/R overwrite read-only files
/S copy files in subdirectories
/V verify that data is written correctly
/W wait for disks to be changed
