[Bug 39612] New: xcopy output has wrong capitalization

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39612

Bug ID: 39612
           Summary: xcopy output has wrong capitalization
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.53
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
          Assignee: [e-mail]
          Reporter: [e-mail]
      Distribution: ---

Wine xcopy prints "<#> file(s) copied" with a lowercase f, but Windows XP's
xcopy prints "<#> File(s) copied" with a capital F.

I noticed because it broke a script of mine that extracts that last print
statement.

Huh. That feels like a bizarre decision.

I don't understand how it can be marked wontfix (after the fix patch was
already created, no less) based on an assumption about the realness or
distribution of the script in question rather than on the actual presence of a
difference between behavior in Wine vs Windows. If I say that thousands of
people have distribution of the software in question that includes the script
does that change how real it is? I think that's the wrong benchmark. :\

It's partially due to copyrights. It can be permissible to copy if it is for
interoperability, but not 'just because'. Published/popular applications have a
stronger claim than a script for personal use that can be easily edited (unlike
a compiled binary application).

I know that doesn't help in your case, sorry about that, but wanted to give
some explanation.
