Hi Someone must know a simple way to do this: I regulalrly need to compare the permissions of two largely similar archives stored in two seperate paths. Most of the files are of the same name and relative path but there may be miscellaneous additional files present or absent in each archive. I want: 1. to be able to produce a list of the full path and name of those files that share an identical path from their respective archive roots, but have different permissions. 2. After examining the list I would like to be able to adjust the permissions so that files of the same path and name in one selected archive are afjusted to match the permissions of their equivalent file in the other archive. Does anyone have a simple solution? thanks david -- 40 yrs navigating and computing in blue waters. English Owner & Captain of British Registered 60' bluewater Ketch S/V Taurus.
