I need to copying recursive subdirectories without prompting to
overwrite. I've seen advice to use xcopy32 -- but
it doesn't appear to be available on Win2k.

I've tried echo D|XCOPY.EXE dir1 dir2,
but don't know how to get the recursive option in there ( /E ).

Yup.. i had tried both of those with no luck. The /y switch does not supress asking if its files or directories to be copied.

The /s switch would work nicely if i could get that message supressed.

Any other ideas?
