I am using a batch file in Win95 to back up a folder onto a zip drive. Whenever the batch file runs I receive an "Incorrect DOS Version" error. The batch file is written as follows: c: cd\ cd mydocu~1 xcopy *.* e: /s /e /v /y exit I believe the problem may be with the xcopy command. Any help would be appreciated.

Try cls @echo off xcopy C:\mydocu~1\*.* E:\mydocs /s/e/v/y :end cls You should also have a xcopy32.exe in windows\command. Example xcopy: cls @echo off rem first two back up rem third restores xcopy %windir%\*.dat c:\register /h /i /r /y xcopy %windir%\*.ini c:\register /h /i /r /y xcopy c:\register %windir% /h /r /y c:\windows\command\xcopy32 c:\*.* d: /h /c /e /k

If you're getting incorrect Dos version error, I would check for old versions of xcopy having gotten accidentally copied onto a directory in your system's path. Another possibility is that there is a copy of xcopy.exe in the current directory when your batch file operates, since the current directory is always searched before the search path.
