As I understand it, xcopy should be faster with larger files (>64K). But is 
xcopy allowed in 4DOS? It probably sounds like a stupid question, but when I 
previously gave an outline for a batch using xcopy, someone sent me an email 
saying it was not a 4DOS solution. So now I am a little in doubt. Is there a 
problem with using xcopy in 4DOS?

PS. Attrib.exe seems to be slightly faster than DIR.
