I am wondering if there is a port or otherwise available code which is good at comparing large numbers of files in an arbitrary number of directories? I always try avoid wheel re-creation when possible. I'm trying to help some- one with large piles of data, most of which is identical across N directories. Most. Its the 'across dirs' part that involves the effort, hence my avoidance of thinking on it if I can help it. ;-) Thanks, STeve Andre'
