Thank you for your interest in WinUpD8R!! You will find this utility to be extremely helpful in keeping your files up-to-date and your directories in "synch" across your multiple machines. Even on a single machine, WinUpD8R can be a very useful tool, as you'll find out when you learn more about its various capabilities. WinUpD8R can be anything from a simple "copy utility" to a programmable maintenance engine. Since WinUpD8R works with your valuable data files, PLEASE take the time to familiarize yourself with its operation before attempting ambitious operations on your computer!
