I hear what you are saying.

Before I started using XXCOPY, I used a product from Smith Micro Called "Check-It - FASTMOVE." It is a windows product similar to "LapLink" I paid $19.95 for it at COMP_USA in Anaheim, California about 6 months ago. It is a side by side allowing access over a small peer-to-peer network or through a parallel port cable through the printer ports. It has a switch to control the display to hide files and directories that are the same. (I can not remember if it ignores files that are duplicates except the time is exactly one hour different.) It has no scripting or command line capabilities.

Its capabilities cannot compare to XXCOPY. 

Hope this helps

Subject: [xxcopy] directory compare


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.
