Hi, folks:

New version was just posted.

http://www.xxcopy.com/betatest/ (v.2.83.2)

The minor discrepancies in timestamp related issues should
be mostly gone. I haven't noticed anything with some
extensive in-house testing with the timestamp management
which turned out to be a lot more difficult than anticipated.

The "quantum mechanics behavior" with regard to the
LastAccess timestamp was pretty much resolved.

With more testing with network environments, it seems that
certain timestamps cannot be set on the remote machine.
We will run more tests as to what can and what cannot be
done with respect to timestamp management.

But, now it seems that XXCOPY's timestamp-display function,
/LH is working quite well under all testing conditions that
we ran.

xxcopy \dir_name\ /S/LH // displays the 3 timestamps
xxcopy \dir_name\ /S/LH/LTREE // directory's timestamps

The /LH switch is a new addition similar to /LDT except
the H format gives you "history" display for the three
timestamps

Creation
LastWrite
LastAccess

In the above order (usually that corresponds to the
chronological order of the three in typical cases).
Note the LastAccess value is stored with date info
and it seems that the value is always "Midnight" of the
day, and therefore, LastAccess timestamp is displayed
only by the date portion in the H format.

We have not addressed the /SP bug which were reported
earlier (and we will start working on this one unless
other more urgent bug is reported). Otherwise,
there is no known bugs.

It seems the recent series of beta test version seems
to be holding up quite well so far.

Again, whoever using this new series of beta test version,
please report any problem as soon as you find it.
