I was remembering an earlier version. It is not present with 2.56.4 which
I just checked, so never mind.

In regards to your answer about my question using the example
xxcopy /h/i/s/e/nx/yy/rcy/nx0 c:\abc xyz

Actually I was using the operation for c:\abc to d:\abc but I was trying to 
keep things simple. It does make sense as you describe that a copy 
operation that preserves the directory dates keeps the top level directory 
new. It does seem that for the purpose of a move (/rc) it would make sense 
to keep the original directory date. Maybe, although I know you don't 
agree, you would consider making it a "pro" option or something.

By the way, when I first installed 2.56.2, it was just a simply unzip to a 
directory. That would have been the optimal point for a tedious "we control 
the scrolling" for several minutes and make you sign this type operation. 
Not 10 minutes later when I was in the middle of doing stuff and started to 
use this version of XXCOPY for the first time. I found that somewhat 
irritating.

Thanks for all your responses. It's a great tool.
