What I use with full satisfaction is just "diff -qr dir1 dir2", though that does actually diff the files. So it suits well for double checking a backup to flash stick. N.B. My paranoia began after one stick showed corrupted bytes _without_ any change in file size. I.e. size is no guide. My favourite was once the dircmp script, from AT&T, back in 1988. Google shows others have sought it since, but I've not seen it on Linux. Erik
