Thank you Michael:

Let us revert to the original script then.

where.bat
-----------------------------------------------------
xxcopy /lzdl/s/h %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
-----------------------------------------------------

At least, this one works on both Win9x and NT.

I believe the subtle differences in batch file behavior
between the Win9x and WinNT family OSes reflect the
difference in COMMAND.COM (Win9x) and CMD.EXE (NT).

So far, I spent 30 minutes or so searching for answer...

Does anyone know a good, authoritative and comprehensive
documentation which describes the difference between
COMMAND.COM and CMD.EXE expecially in the area of batch
file syntax and behavior?
