Make a hard copy of the following page:

http://www.xxcopy.com/clone

In there, read the section: "How to create a DOS Box".
and follow the instruction to do just that.

I suppose you unzipped the freeware file into
a temporary directory. I assume the temporary directory
name is c:\my_temp (if not, adjust the following operations
accordingly).

Inside the DOS Box, run the following commands:

C:

The above line makes sure that the current drive is C:

cd \my_temp

The above line makes the c:\my_temp directory current.

dir

You should find the XXCOPY files you have unzipped.
That is, you should find the following files listed:

README.TXT
INSTALL.BAT
UIXXCOPY.BAT
XXCOPY.EXE
XXPBAR.EXE
XXCOPY16.EXE
PAD_FILE.XML

Then, run the install.bat file by typing:

install

That is it. It will give you Y/N prompts and just follow
what it says. It will install XXCOPY into c:\windows\command
directory and sets up the system registry and everything
for XXCOPY operations on your system from then on.

Then, follow the instruction in the XXTB #10 article you
just printed out.
