I downloaded the latest release and tried it out regarding the NTFS 
folder stamps. It is much better preserving the stamps in going from 
FAT32 to NTFS, however there seems to still be a slight problem. If 
a folder from the source doesn't exist on the NTFS destination, then 
the stamps are replicated on the destination folder just fine. But, 
if the folder already exists on the destination and there are updates 
within the folder, the LastWrite date on the destination folder is 
made current regardless of the LastWrite date on the source folder. 
To test this, I did the following (C: is FAT32 and G: is NTFS) ...

"G:\Downloads" does not exist initially.

XXCOPY "C:\Downloads" "G:\Downloads" /CLONE/TC

XXCOPY "G:\Downloads" /S/LH/LTREE
Shows all stamps preserved.

Create a dummy text file inside one of the subfolders 
in "C:\Downloads" with the subfolder itself having an old LastWrite 
date.

XXCOPY "C:\Downloads" /S/LH/LTREE
Shows the stamps on the subfolder as unchanged.

XXCOPY "C:\Downloads" "G:\Downloads" /CLONE/TC
The only file copied over is the dummy text file.

XXCOPY "G:\Downloads" /S/LH/LTREE
Shows the LastWrite date on the subfolder is current even though the 
LastWrite date on the source subfolder is still the old date.
