FILE UPDATER
__________________________________________________________________
Changes from previous versions:
V. 1.3 - Some cosmetic changes in the Settings dialog.
__________________________________________________________________
Hi there.
If you're like me, you work on a few to a dozen different
computers and go nuts over trying to keep the newest versions
of all your files with you so you can continue working on then
somewhere else.
I got tired of manually figuring out where I have the newest
version, so I wrote this little program.
The program allows you to save the directories you need to
compare on both the floppy disk and the hard drive on every
machine you work on so you won't need to punch it in every time
you want to update.
There are four options:
Confirmation: for every action taken, you'll be asked
Replace newer files: two files with the same filename
are compared and the newer one is copied over
the older one
Copy new file from drive 1 to drive 2: Files that only
exist in either one directory are copied into
the other one.
Copy new file from drive 2 to drive 1: the other way ..
Confirmation and Replacement are by default on, copying off.
However, when you save your current settings, the defaults are also
saved and thus right there when you load the setting next time ..
Unfortunately, in this demo version you won't
be able to save this list for the next use ... thus it won't be there
for loading next time you use it.
There is a log of every action the program takes (menu item 'log'),
this log can be printed and is also available from the clipboard.
Only the full program, available for $15 (includes S&H) will do that!
You'll get the newest version, plus there won't be any nagging windows
any more. I'll send you upgrades should there be major bugs (Let me
know if you find one).
You want the full version ??
Send the 15 bucks to

Contact me on Compuserve 75260,627 or send e-mail to HINRICH@CALTECH.
SUPPORT SHAREWARE.
Updater is written in VisualBasic 3.0, thus you'll need the file VBRUN300.DLL
in you WINDOWS or WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. It's not included to save download
time in case you already have it. If not, it should be in the same place this
program came from.
Copy the file 'UPDATER.INI' into your 'c:\WINDOWS' directory.
You may distribute this demo to anyone as long as you include all the files it
came with.
