This only works in Win2000. It does not matter what version the files were 
created or modified under, only what you are running when you use XXCOPY. I 
tried this using 2.60.0 in Win2000 and the directories copied below the top 
one all had the right dates. I get ## Warning ## Failed timestamp running 
on a Win98 network share, even though I was executing from Win2000, so the 
host volume needs to be running Win2000 as well. Are you getting an error 
message?

Interestingly enough though, in my test, instead of 7/15/01 22:57 for the 
top level dir, I got 7/15/01 17:47. Something weird happening using time 
zones and/or daylight savings? I have a time zone of CST set.
