I wouldn't be difficult to write a program to synchronise automatically.
You have quite a gap between work and home I assume (unlike my 1 minute)
so clocks need not be too accurate.
Simply read all file attributes in designated directories and copy
across newer ones as appropriate, of course date stamping them again.
I think that is one of the major failings of QDOS/SMSQ - that date
stamps are transitory at the O/S level.
I know 'backup' in QPAC2 is better, but date stamps should be absolutely
fixed, unless forced.
