I have an (uncompressed) backup of a folder tree on another machine.

By mistake I began working on numerous files on the BACKUP copy.

Is there an app to do a simple comparison of the 2 folder trees to find the modified items?

Cheers, Antony.

Get a text listing of both using something like ls and then diff them in bbedit or with diff.

Or you could find a copy of Quinn's System Folder Diff, which probably would still run in Classic.

Alternatively I have a python script which could probably be modded to do something similar, although it's designed to remove duplicate directories. :)

Have fun,
Shay
