I have a batch file that I wrote on a Win2K system where
I have something like:
copy file1.txt f:\file2.txt > NUL:
On win2K if I have an error, such as not enough room on f:,
the error message is displayed on the Console window. If
no error, the "1 file(s) copied" message goes out to null.
However on WinXP, both the stdout and stderr message goes
to NUL:. Is there a way to write the copy command so
that it emulates Win2K?
