 1. The purpose of the program.

Currently, You have my previous versions (DCW version 6 and DCW 2000) which this new version replaces.

Directory Compare For Windows is a fully functional version.  

DCW is a Windows program that can visually synchronize 
directories AND subdirectories, quickly establish differences 
between the them, and resolve any differences through simple 
automated or manual processes. DCW compares, copies, moves, 
deletes, synchronizes files on network or local hard & floppy drives. 
Who needs it? Well..

o When synchronizing or creating duplicate directories
o When applying new program updates and patches
o When updating desktop computer and laptop computer files 
o When updating peer information in a network or workgroup
o When a Network administrator, Software systems trainer 
  and presenter, and project managers need to 
  duplicate software directories on a regular basis.
o When creating and comparing test/development directories.
o When installing new software and you want to keep or 
  compare previously defined or modified files from 
  the older application. 
o When you suspect corrupted files from user error 
  or a virus and you want to compare file sizes, 
  times and dates.
o When trying to find why one person's software 
  configuration works and another person's software 
  doesn't seem to work (even though 
  they swear "I didn't change a thing")


Anyone who has to set up directories on machines or 
merely when trying to apply file updates, no longer has to 
painfully inspect that they accurately copied necessary files 
and directories, only to discover at the worst moment that 
something is missing.  Because DCW gives you flexibility for 
selecting files as well as immediate visual feedback for 
validation,  DCW replaces the dread allowing for an easy and  
more productive environment to create working systems.
