Reconcile For Windows v1.3 Update Directories Registration $24.00
WIN_UTIL COPY DIRECTORIES LAPTOP <ASP>
FILES: winrec13.arj
Author: Michael Quinion, Publisher - Shareable Software
Reconcile updates two directories you specify. It copies files each way
until both directories contain the most recent copies of all the files
you want updated. It will also update each directory's sub-directories
if you wish.
Reconcile will be invaluable to:
* People with portable computers or who take work home on floppy disks.
These users need to ensure that they are always working on the most
up-to-date versions of all files.
* Groups of co-workers in small offices running several computers with no
network, who need to ensure that everyone has current copies of files.
* Users who wish to be spared the hassle of either backing up all their
files each time, or remembering which files have changed.
The main features of the shareware version are:
* Reconcile compares all the files in a pair of directories and marks each
file for exclusion, update or copying, according to what you have told it
to do. It copies files backwards and forwards until both directories
contain the most up-to-date versions of every file you want updated.
* The directories can be on the same drive or different drives. They can
be on any MS-DOS drive on any machine across a network which File Manager
recognises. This includes drives on remote machines set up using
INTERLNK, BROOKLYN BRIDGE or similar utilities.
* Reconcile will keep track of the disk space available and will not
attempt to copy or update files if there is not enough room for them.
It will warn you if there is not enough space.
* You can instruct Reconcile to confirm with you before it updates or
copies any file or creates any sub-directory.
* You can specify a set of up to twenty files or file types to be included
in the update and a similar set to be excluded.
* You can record a set of options in a script file and recall it at any
time to repeat the reconciliation.
* You can run Reconcile from the Windows command line so that it will
automatically begin a reconciliation when you start it. You can also
use the File Manager association facility to run a script file by
double-clicking on it (the association is set up by the Reconcile
install program.)
The registered version has these additional features:
* It can also look at files in all the sub-directories of the two root
directories you specify. If you tell it to, it will create missing sub-
directories until both directory trees are the same.
* Reconcile can preview what it would do without actually doing it.
* You can also select or exclude files by their date and time stamps.
* Reconcile can keep a detailed log disk file (of your choice) of all its
actions and any changes you make to options or script files.
* You can instruct Reconcile to work in the background, updating
directories without your intervention.
The original DOS version of this program was written for a national UK
company. The staff had their own PCs, but no network. Everyone had to be
sure they were working on the most recent copies of reports and other files
and that older copies did not overwrite new ones.
Reconcile has been in daily use for more than two years with no problems.
The Windows version builds on the concept of the DOS one, but has been
completely rewritten from scratch. Michael Quinion used the first Windows
version to update his own files for about six months before putting it on
the market. This included backing up later versions of the Reconcile
source files themselves.
Full Windows help is provided.
