Not only is this functionality, as you say, replicated by other, dedicated 
utilities, but as I see it, it is getting way out on a limb for XXCOPY. How 
will duplicating functionality already existing in freeware make XXCOPY more 
useful/desirable to the buying public? Would it be better to concentrate on 
features no one else does? Hint, hint.

... you know my pet projects. The reason I keep bringing them up is that *no 
one else does them* and there *is* a need... but at this rate, maybe I'm the 
only one in the world who'd ever want their files copied in LFN or SFN 
(including path) order. 

I'd love to hear from anyone else who might like to have files, say from a 
large directory tree copied to CD's in a definite, predictable pattern. CD 1 
contains directories A-J, CD 2 contains directories K-Z... things like that.

But if there are more voices clamoring for line counts than what I'm looking 
for, who am I to argue?

Go with the flow,
