"The XCopy.exe Page" is now available

[guard]

This is a "Mounted Help" page combining the help text from Windows NT4,
2000, XP and Server 2003. You will find it useful as a reference when
writing shell scripts that must run reliably under multiple NT-Based
Operating Systems.

The expected file version, date, time and size are documented as well as the
local and remote paths used to invoke the utility in a script or at the
command line.

The calculated MD5 (Message Digest 5) is available for file verification.

Syntax differences among the four OS's are color highlighted to assist with
understanding.

Parameters and switches are alphabetized for quick reference.

Hyperlinks to related commands are added where appropriate.

The "Common Help" text (from "xcopy /?" on each platform) is also available
for comparison.

BTW, '/?' works for other commands aswell, not just xcopy. For example:-

for/?, set/?, call/?, if/?, cmd/? ... you get the idea

You might want to consider including a comment about possible
corruption of the short (8+3) file names in Windows 2000/XP.
