When I use a standard <copy> task between a local Windows98 directory =
and a network directory hosted on a WindowsME machine, it works exactly =
as it should.  But, when I use precisely the same script on a WindowsNT =
machine targeting the Windows ME (or Windows 98) machines, Ant appears =
to copy indiscriminantly, without regard to the prior existence of =
identical files on the target machines. =20

This is the simple Ant file I've used for testing.  On the NT, it will =
repeat the copying as many times as you run it, but on the Win98, it =
will actually copy the files only the first time (as it should).

<project name=3D"testing" default=3D"backup" >

    <target name=3D"backup" >

         <copy todir=3D"e:/copy_test" preservelastmodified=3D"yes">
              <fileset dir=3D"c:/copy_test">
                   <include name=3D"*.*"/>
              </fileset>
         </copy>

         <copy todir=3D"f:/copy_test" preservelastmodified=3D"yes">
              <fileset dir=3D"c:/copy_test">
                   <include name=3D"*.*"/>
              </fileset>
         </copy>

     </target>
</project>
=20
Is there any record of Windows NT behaving differently from other Ant =
hosts?  (I've searched through the mailing list without luck on this =
topic, though I vaguely recall reading something relating to it some =
time ago.)

Thanks in advance,

Terry
