Hey, guys! I haven't seen posts here in days! Certainly I can't be 
the only one who hasn't gotten everything figured out!

I've got a definite "MUGWump" question today--that is, I know how to 
do it on the PC, but I'm not sure of how to do it on the Mac.

When I burn a CD-R on a PC, I use a little command-line utility
called XDIFF32 <http://www.wookie.demon.co.uk/xdiff/> to compare one
to another. I start at whatever folder level I want (usually root)
and it compares the files and folders all the way down the tree.

For the Mac, I've found a utility called Folder Compare,
<http://www.pollet.net/FolderCompare/> which seems to do the same
thing (I'm going to be passing it on to a friend so I want to be
sure), but it doesn't say that it checks for byte mismatches, 
such as would indicate a corrupted file.

Does Folder Compare do what I want, or is there another utility that 
will do the job (and what is it and where do I get it)?

Thanksamundo,
Mike the MUGWump

I'm a MUGWump: My "MUG" is on the Mac side of the fence (since mid-2002), and 
my "Wump" is on the PC side (since 1989). I've been on the trailing edge of 
computer technology since 1987 and love it! [P.S.] Due to limitations on this
