Hello, Jim,

Most our files are pushed around with /bu/bn (copy all new files, and 
overwrite existing files with newer versions).

One of our programmers is rather prolific; to keep our system in 
control, we have copied the programs of his that we want into one 
folder, then use the /u switch to keep those programs updated. 
Programs that are not in the folder are not copied over.

That programmer also makes almost all of his files read-only; 
xxcopy's default of clearing the read-only attribute is a great boon 
to us.
