+Using Source Code
+-----------------

 From developer's perspective, DirComp employs a team of classes to complete work. DirectoryComparer is the main class, which maps 'work to be done' by walking two trees side-by-side. Algorithm streams one directory at a time, from each source path, which enables efficient processing of very large trees. Two 'worker' classes ConsoleNotifier and CopyAtoBNotifier accept notifications from DirectoryComparer, and either display results to console or execute copy. Both inherit from GenericNotifier.

 About

-DirComp.NET is a simple command-line tool written in VB.NET, which compares two directories, and either lists differences or mirrors one directory onto another. For example, it can be used to backup large file repository by maintaining a mirror copy. It lives well with existing Windows infrastructure, which already provides file shares. And finally, DirComp.NET does not require any software or services to be installed other than .NET framework.

+Why it deserves space on SourceForge
+------------------------------------
+
+A few similar tools exist for directory comparison and synchronization tools, of which author experienced [RSync for Windows](http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp) and [FreeFileSync](https://sourceforge.net/projects/freefilesync/). In my opinion, RSync works best at minimizing network traffic between Unix servers, while FreeFileSync's main strenth is ease of use and intuitiveness of GUI. DirCompNet was built with Windows system administrator in mind, as setup and configuration cannot be easier for those who have a few dozen Windows servers in a gigabit LAN and have no requirement of syncing FTP directories over slow bandwidth links.

+Method of comparing files
+-------------------------

 When identifying differences, DirComp.NET looks at two attributes:
