? COMPARE_DIR, Utilities, Compare the contents of two directories     8 COMPARE_DIR  --  Compare the contents of two directories+ Written by Tim Fogarty <fogarty@netcom.com>   + Runs on both OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha. < Supplied .EXEs linked under VMS V5.4 (VAX) and V1.5 (Alpha).  P --------------------------------------------------------------------------------" COMPARE_DIR written by Tim FogartyP --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  I COMPARE_DIR allows users to compare the contents of two directories.  The ; directories may be on the same node, or on different nodes.   N COMPARE_DIR can be used to show which files are missing from either directory.  J COMPARE_DIR can be used to show which files exist in both directories, but0 have different sizes, dates, or version numbers.  K COMPARE_DIR can be used to create a COM file to copy missing files from one  directory to another.   P --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  H To compare directories over different nodes, COMPARE_DIR_REMOTE.EXE mustI be installed on the remote node and an NCP object COMPARE_DIR_REMOTE must  be defined.   F To install, edit DISTRIBUTION_LIST.DAT and add the name of each remoteI node to which you want the software distributed to.  You should only need H to provide one node name per cluster.  List each node name one per line.J It is assumed that you have proxy write access to SYS$SYSTEM, SYS$MANAGER,L and SYS$HELP on each remote node.  Then execute MAKE.COM on your local node.  . MAKE.COM will perform the following functions:  ) 	Create help library from COMPARE_DIR.HLP  	Compile COMPARE_DIR.FOR 	Compile GET_FILE_INFO.FOR 	Compile COMPARE_DIR_REMOTE.FOR ( 	Compile utility library GEN_CLI$SUB.FOR& 	Create object library GEN_CLI$SUB.OLB 	Link COMPARE_DIR  	Link COMPARE_DIR_REMOTE+ 	Distribute necessary files to remote nodes     L After distributing the files to the remote node, you must then log onto each node and perform the following.   D    1) add the following line to SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM on each node  -         $ set command SYS$MANAGER:compare_dir   J       or you may choose to add it permanently to SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE  G    2) add the following line to SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM on each node   ;         $ @SYS$MANAGER:install_hlp sys$help:compare_dir.hlb   ;    3) execute COMPARE_DIR-NCP_SET_OBJ.COM once on each node %       (this file can then be deleted)   P --------------------------------------------------------------------------------  H It is assumed that COMPARE_DIR.EXE will be placed in SYS$SYSTEM.  If youO change this, then you must edit COMPARE_DIR.CLD and modify the IMAGE statement.   K It is assumed that COMPARE_DIR_REMOTE.EXE will be placed in SYS$SYSTEM.  If J you change this, then you must redefine the NCP object COMPARE_DIR_REMOTE.     --  Tim Fogarty (fogarty@netcom.com)- ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/fo/fogarty/home.html   
