I wrote a Rexx script as part of the Electronic Software Distribution (ESD)
systems I develop which uses the SysFileTree API to build a list of files and
dirs for both the from and to, and notes differences by copying the file from
the from to the to. Pretty quick and easy, built a hash table to speed up the
locates in the array, or stem as they are called in Rexx. Rexx also makes it
easy as you can use any set of chars to store the variable in a stem, whereas
an array usually is partitioned into numbered units... file names are not
really numbers usually.
Don't know what languages you work with, but something like that would probably
be a nice tool in your tool box. I'm on this newbie list because I am one when
it comes to Linux... someday the code will be on Linux and then I would just
ship it over. Sorry.
