Hi Garry - I've now had time to try out your batch file (below) & it worked
a treat. All files were eventually copied using XXcopy16 but it took 1.5
hours to clone 1.12Gb !!!

Long filenames were truncated to abcdef~1.* of course, but after running a
great little (unknown?) utility called DOSLFNBK, all my shortened filenames
were back with their correct long filenames. That took just a few seconds
to complete. I found running XXcopy   /NL just didn't do the
job.

So, for devotees of XXCOPY who have been put off using XXcopy16, there is
now a neat solution to the filename problem! The utility can be downloaded
from the author's site:-

www.murdoch-sutherland.com/programs/doslfnbk.htm#downloading - scroll well
down to get the download link.

PS - has anyone any idea why the Progess Bar hangs, when used in a batch
file? At least it does in mine, when using XXCOPY under Win98SE in a Dos
box.

Thanks again Garry for your excellent help.

Colin

If the test of the LFN restore utility doesn't work, use:

xxcopy   /NL //Renames longname to match the source
