" In theory, I could use find, then cmp, plus some scripting, " but seems simpler to just write a small C program " to do it. Really? Your definition of 'simpler' may differ from mine, but given an existing tool for recursion and one for comparison, I'm not sure that writing in C, which will require you to take care of both of those tasks yourself, is simpler. But up to you how you want to do it, of course. stephan(); -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
