Daniel,

Does it have two panels interface? E.g. can I have both directories listed in one screen together?

Thanks.

    >>Thanks, seems like exactly the ticket. The only little flaw in interface, that I need to type directories (it doesn't have Browse button).

I can write this program, but may be somebody has this kind of utility written, so I don't need to re-invent the wheel.

    >>>If you mean you'd run it for yourself 'windiff' is a utility that's part of MS VStudio tools. If not there you could copy and compile from its source files (AFAIK you have VS). It's great in comparing dirs and files IMHO.
    >>>If you need something you can touch and in pure VFP (not so pure unless you change FSO calls to adir:) I can post a routine that gets Folder, FileName, Size, Acces, Modify, Createtimes to a cursor (GetTree(cFolder[,lIncludeFiles])). Actually was posted before so you can search :)

    If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
