To keep lab machines up to date, I want a program that:
Compares the local hard drive to a model on an AppleShare volume and then
intelligently reconciles (makes the local volume look like the remote volme,
copying and deleting a minimal number of files).
Works with System 7.
Ideally, fits on a 1.4MB boot floppy with System 7 and EtherTalk.
Under $1200 for 300 nodes.
Handles as many as 200 files, adding up to 52MB.
We can give the program 2MB RAM.

Do any of the Powerbook folder-syncing utilities do one-way reconciliations
like this?

Stuff I've tried:
Frontier is promising, especially since Runtime is $25/node, but takes too
much disk space.
The program VolumeImage seems to be exactly what we need, but v0.64 can't
handle large downloads under System 7, and the author seems to have lost
interest in the program in 1989.
'Likewise' will not work on our network and isn't intelligent enough.
NetDistributor Pro is a top-down solution I don't like. I want something the
user or consultant can run from the local computer.
