SYNCTREE
--------

SyncTree is a small WIN32 program to synchronize two directory trees based on
file dates. I wrote it in order to ensure that my source code is up-to-date
when copying back and forth from home, but I'm sure it could have other uses
as well.

Files are copied from one tree to the other if either they don't exist or
are newer. Provisions are made for excluding specific directories
(sub-trees), and for excluding files based on file mask.

Because I tend to use it for the same operations repeatedly, SyncTree gets
its input parameters from a text file. This avoids problems with long
command lines on some platforms, and eliminates any problems with parsing
long file names (i.e., spaces in the names).

The format of the command file is simple. There are a couple of examples in
the archive (test.syn and cmd.syn).

The lines in the command file are:

Dir1:           Directory tree #1
Dir2:           Directory tree #2
Include:        File masks to include, separated by semi-colons (;)
Exclude:        File masks to exclude, separated by semi-colons (;)
SkipDirs:       Directory names to skip, separated by semi-colons (;)

The command accepts two options:

-tn     Set trace level to 'n' (0-9); controls the amount of information
	displayed while processing.

-q      Sets query mode; Synctree will show what it would do, without
	copying any files or creating any directories.

The synctree source code may be used and modified freely for personal use.
