My personal opinion would be to ADD another switch that exactly what /CLONE 
does and change all documentation to use that new switch name instead of 
clone. As you say, people are now expecting a package that has a /clone 
option to do what Norton Ghost or Drive Image does: a full clone of a 
drive. That is not what xxcopy was designed to do!

Kan - please think about this. Notice that I did not say to eliminate the 
/clone switch - too many people have batch files already written. But add 
a new switch that does exactly what /clone does and use that new name in 
all future tech bulletins and user guides. One person suggested /EZCOPY - 
sounds as good as any to me. /clone would remain in xxcopy as an alias for 
whatever new name you came up with.
