SYNCH Directories

These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

• syncdir.exe → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 123.0 KB
• SYNCDR16.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 54.0 KB

No need to put OS.H, SYNCDIR.PRJ, UI.H, makefile, SHARED.LST, dosui.c, dos.c, main.c and 37 more: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 170.7 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy syncdir.exe, SYNCDR16.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

Installation:
  Unzip the archive. Move the executable (syncdir.exe or syncdr16.exe)
  somewhere approriate & accessable (preferably somewhere in your path)

Status:
  Freeware (see ``syncdir.doc'' for a definition)

Distribution:
  Freely. Anyone who could benefit from it should. If you really don't
  like it at all, give it to an enemy.

  I intent to keep these accounts open as long as possible, but suggest
  you use the internet account first as a rarely read my CIS mail.

i've done the best i could at testing this and i don't think any errors
exist that could destroy data, but better safe than sorry.

the <<delete>> and <<copy>> commands can be very dangerous, especially
in force mode. i always suggest backing up at least daily.
you've been warned.

Examples: (these didn't make it into the doc.)
These are the options i usually use.

E: is my home work directory
G: is my office work directory

set SYNCDIR=/x*\windebug\*;*.arj;*.bak;*\winrel\*;*\back\*

so...when i get home from the office:

  syncdir g:\work e:\work /a/u/dd/f/v/l\tmp\xfer.log

this will force my machine to be identical with the office.

normally i simply do the reverse before i go back to the office:

  syncdir g:\work e:\work /a/u/dd/f/v/l\tmp\xfer.log

occasionally, if i just want something fast because i can't remember
which changes i made at which location:

  syncdir g:\work e:\work /a/u/b/f/v/l\tmp\xfer.log

this copies the files in both directions and deletes nothing
