I've often wondered about a similar facility. Years ago there was an Oz shareware program called Two Disks (which I actually thought useful enough to pay for :) which was designed to compare files on two floppy drives. (I did say it was years ago. :-) Admittedly, you could fool it into handling *one* HDD directory as a "drive" by specifying 'C:' for the default directory, but that was about as complex as it got. It had a really useful display and options for managing the files in the two displayed drives. IIRC, it was something like: Files on A not on B Files on B not on A Identical files on A & B .. [memory starts to fail about here %-) ] It was then a simple matter of selecting files in one list and giving a command to COPY/MOVE to the other "drive", or just DELETE from A/B. I've often wished for a similar simple utility for modern systems. Any suggestions? Cheers, Phred. -- ppnerkDELETE@THISyahoo.com.INVALID
