So the old adage about programmers not being able to spell is still true? I
suppose "Robucopy" doesn't roll off the tongue quite so well does
it?

Oh - Richcopy does have an issue if you specify a very large number of

I now need to find a way to automate the process of comparing two

on a remote server - and producing a package of new/updated files that need
to travel in each direction (ideally by the use of an external USB hard
