ZCOPY
(ver 3.5)
Abandoned Freeware


ZCOPY is a replacement for both XCOPY and MOVE.  

ZCOPY solves a problem with clearing active directories 
that are constantly being filled with randomly named files.  
The DOS XCOPY command does not remove files from the original 
directory, and the DOS MOVE command can not move only those 
files with the Archive Bit set.  You could create a batch 
file which wildcard copies the Archive Bit set files using 
XCOPY, then wildcard deletes the copied files using DOS DEL.  
However, what if a new file was added to the source directory 
between the time the batch file ran XCOPY and DEL?  It would 
be deleted without having been copied!  

"ZCOPY <filenames_wildcard> <directory> /M /A" will snapshot 
the Archive Bit files it needs to move, ignoring any files 
later added to the source directory while ZCOPY is running.
