?COMPARE_DIR, Utilities, Compare the contents of two directories8COMPARE_DIR -- Compare the contents of two directories+Written by Tim Fogarty +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--------------------------------------------------------------------------------ICOMPARE_DIR allows users to compare the contents of two directories. The;directories may be on the same node, or on different nodes.NCOMPARE_DIR can be used to show which files are missing from either directory.JCOMPARE_DIR can be used to show which files exist in both directories, but0have different sizes, dates, or version numbers.KCOMPARE_DIR can be used to create a COM file to copy missing files from onedirectory to another.P--------------------------------------------------------------------------------HTo compare directories over different nodes, COMPARE_DIR_REMOTE.EXE mustIbe installed on the remote node and an NCP object COMPARE_DIR_REMOTE must be defined.FTo install, edit DISTRIBUTION_LIST.DAT and add the name of each remoteInode to which you want the software distributed to. You should only needHto provide one node name per cluster. List each node name one per line.JIt is assumed that you have proxy write access to SYS$SYSTEM, SYS$MANAGER,Land 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$SUB.OLB Link COMPARE_DIR Link COMPARE_DIR_REMOTE+ Distribute necessary files to remote nodesLAfter distributing the files to the remote node, you must then log onto eachnode and perform the following.D 1) add the following line to SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM on each node- $ set command SYS$MANAGER:compare_dirJ or you may choose to add it permanently to SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXEG 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--------------------------------------------------------------------------------HIt is assumed that COMPARE_DIR.EXE will be placed in SYS$SYSTEM. If youOchange this, then you must edit COMPARE_DIR.CLD and modify the IMAGE statement.KIt is assumed that COMPARE_DIR_REMOTE.EXE will be placed in SYS$SYSTEM. IfJyou 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
