- CPD is A ZCPR3 utility to compare two directories and indicate which files
- exist in both directories and which exist only in the first directory. It
- also allows setting the archive attribute on those files which exist in both
- directories, facilitating copying those that do not.
-
- Version 1.0 (8/4/91) by Gene Pizzetta. The idea (but not the code) came
- from CDIR 2.0 by Robert Wilcox and Richard Brewster.

- Syntax CPD {dir:}{afn} {dir:} {{/}options}
-
- If no DU or DIR is given, the current default is assumed. If no filename
- is given, all files ("*.*") is assumed. To make the the first directory the
- current directory, only a colon or a period need be entered for the first
- token.
-
- If no option is given, all matching non-system files in the first directory
- are displayed with files marked which also exist on the second directory.
- These duplicated files will be marked by both an asterisk following the file-
- name and by dim or reverse video (the standout string installed in the TCAP).
- The asterisk allows visible markings in printer output or for TCAP's with no
- standout string installed.
-
- The file display can be aborted at any time with ^C.
- Options - 1/2
-
- A slash is not required if the option list is the third parameter on the
- command line.
-
- B Display only files that exist in both directories, that
- is, display only marked files. Since option M is
- incompatible, choosing this option cancels option M.
-
- M Display only files in the first directory that are
- missing from, that is, do not exist in the second
- directory. Since option B is incompatible, choosing
- this option cancels option B.
-
- A Set the archive attribute of matching files in the
- first directory that also exist in the second directory
- (marked files). This allows copying the files with a
- copy program that recognizes archived files, such as
- COPY, PIP, ACOPY, etc. CPD does not remove archive
- attributes on other files, so they should first be
- reset with a program such as DA or FA before calling
- CPD.
- Options - 2/2
-
- S Include system (hidden) files. By default CPD ignores
- system files in the first directory, but duplicate
- files in the second directory, including system files,
- are always found.
-
- P Do not page screen display. By default CPD waits for a
- key to be pressed after each screenful of filenames.
-
- L Echo the screen display to the printer. Printer output
- is continuous (no paged). This option also suppresses
- screen paging.
-
- F Send a final form feed to the printer after the display
- is completed. This option has no effect unless option
- L is also active.
- :2
- Installation
-
- All options except L can be made the default mode by using ZCNFG and the
- accompanying CPDxx.CFG file. In that case the command line option will toggle
- the option to the non-default mode. Do not set both options B and M as
- defaults. You will not like the result.
-
- It is best not to change the name of the CFG file, so that ZCNFG will
- always be able to find it, even if you change the name of CPD.
