PRG, proc, func... with Harbour 3.# Files

THIS IS THE READme.txt file

FileSync*.* (c) mjk. It is PD/Free.                        Updated 2/10/2024
For more information download: FileSynsDoc.txt.

Backups files from a disk and/or a subdirectory to another hard drive, USB 
drive or stick. The first run it just copies the files. After that, it adds 
new, updates, and erases non existent files that are no longer on the source 
drive.

It will not do a windos backup.

The files are not encrypted or anything so, they are always accessible to you.

It writes a _sync_ log file denoting what was done in the backup subdirctory.
  Dirctory...
    =      file   (is the same)
    add    file   (a new file)
    update file   (overwrite a file w/newer)
    erase  file   (was on the backup but, no longer in the source drive)
    md     subdir (make a new sub directory/folder)
    rd     subdir (remove a directory and all below it) ver. b2.

Version beta 1.
   The source to backup defaults to the current directory where the exe is. 
   Can paste. It accepts 80 characters (a read limit?). To extend it in ver 2.
   The destination directory is suggested. Most likely the best choice.
   There is an option to choose an existing directory in the destination drive.

Version beta 3. -- 4/28/2020.
   Still, a working knowledge of your file system is beneficial.
   + More user friendly. I think about as much as I can do.
     Source drive and/or directory or subdirectory/folder(s).
      + can insert/paste more than 80 characters.
        or browse to pick one.
      - no editing if greater than 80 characters.
        Can exit if you goofed up and restart.
     Target drive and/or directory or subdirectory.
      + can browse the target drive root directories/folders and, it has 
        suggested names to backup to.
      + can edit/change it if necessary.
   + it can remove subdirectories that are no longer on the 
     source drive directory.
   + an option not to erase files or dirs on the target which are no longer 
     on the source.
   + a smaller and nicer _sync_ file.

Version beta 3.u -- 6/8/2020.
   I found a couple of files on my hard drive used Uni-code characters and 
   some would not copy properly.
   So, I have added a Uni-code version. It seems to be okay with the typical 
   Asci characters also. 

Version 4 -- 2/10/2024
   Found that backing up to a USB stick and it filled up. There were no DOS or
   file errors indicated. So I added more error checking for a USB stick.

end.
