And who says synchronicity isn't a real force?

I was just going to ask this--I'd very much like a product for comparing
the contents of two files, pref. at least by fork, and preferably by
mass-comparison, too.  I need to compare two whole folders, or complete
drives, to make sure I've done the data-recovery correctly.

Not to mention that such a tool would be invaluable for removing old
systems, inits, cdevs, the 1,771,561 copies of TeachText, etc., from
one's system.  Especially if it could compare versions and create/mod
dates.

	Just wishing for the sky,
