Come to think of it, generating a checksum for your file is probably much faster than the transfer rates of your hard-drive. Guillaume. -----Original Message----- From: gda...@li...

I need to find a way to quickly check if 2 files are different. I was thinking maybe generating a checksum value from the file's data but that would probably be too slow. I want to do this because I frequently copy many files from a src directory to a dest directory/console and this takes a while. Thanks, Ricardo Robaina _____ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
