It sounds good, doesn't it?

Hi there, gang.

A few days ago (on the 16th), I sent the following email to the PICLIST. I 
hope to see some of the regulars from there show up here at some point.

Hiya gang.

Some weeks ago, one of the longtime list members raved about a cool and 
very effective xcopy replacement. I jumped into the discussion by 
mentioning that it was part of DATMAN which is the backup program that I use.

I recently received an email from Kam Yabumoto (the author of both 
programs) as follows:

Dear Friend of XXCOPY:

Here is an exciting news for you about XXCOPY.

Jim Witherspoon, an XXCOPY enthusiast recently set up a Discussion
Group as a part of the Yahoo! service. It will be operated by Jim
independently from us, the publisher of XXCOPY. As Jim states in
the Yahoo site, it will be a forum to exchange ideas, questions and
answers by XXCOPY users.

Anyone interested in the program can head over there if they like.
