I tried it.  It's an extremely simple program that seems to let you 
designate one and only one folder on each machine, then it simply compares
the modify times on all the files and copies the newer file on top of the
older file.  

What I want is a program that lets me designate as many folders (and
sub-folders) as I want, and that remembers the modify time of the files
the last time they were sync'ed so that it can alert me (and not over-
write anything) when both files have been modified since they last time
they were sync'ed.  I'd also like to have options that let me see the
names of the files before they're copied and have a chance to exclude
certain files on a one-time or permanent basis.  So that's what I'm
going to try to write (but don't hold your breath; the way I work, it'll
be three to six months before I finish (well, I do have other things in
my life, like the work I get paid to do)).
