Hello, Can someone please help...

I have two deeply nested directories C:\Charlie and D:\Delta which I 
want to compare and I think XXcopy can do the job.

I'm having problems understanding the section in XXCOPY TECHNICAL 
BULLETIN #01 entitled "Summary XXCOPY switches that check two 
directories:"

95%+ of the files in the directories are identical (size&time) with a 
possible exception of a time difference of EXACTLY one hour (I moved 
between timezones or copied in summertime or something). 

Specifically what I want to know is the differences between the two 
directories, i.e.
1) files which exist on (either) one but not the other
and 
2) files which have a different size or timestamp (unless it is 
different by exactly one hour - PLUS or MINUS)

I get the impression that multiple variations on something 
like "xxcopy /L /S /BI /TD+1 C:\Charlie D:\Delta" 
would do the trick but it seems to be a bit more involved.

Can someone please tell me which incantation(s) of xxcopy will give 
me what I want.

Thanks for any help given.

Neil.
