Michiel:

It is too bad that lately, the computer design was made for
secretaries rather than programmers. One such backward
design is the disappearance of fixed-pitch fonts which
distinguish zero and O (besides the position of the Ctrl-key
let alone the function keys to your left).

XXCOPY tries as much as it can to avoid the confusion
using the lowercase o to stand out from zero. In most common
fonts, the uppercase O is so close to 0, but the lowercase o
is nearly always smaller than zero 0. We explain that
at various places in our documentation --- you must have
skipped the required reading :-)

We do not support a switch like /WVo.
XXCOPY uses /WV0 (zero at the end).

This is consistent to all other switches which cancels an
action by adding zero at the end. That is, /WV is cancelled
by /WV0 just like /A can be cancelled by /A0

------------------------------------------------------
BTW, the XXCOPY switches are mostly case-insensitive
(except with the very minor exception of macro case-
sensitive feature which is case-sensitive in a way).
------------------------------------------------------

Have a nice day.
