# Ver. 1.1, Sept. 13, 2001. Now uses File::Compare instead of diff;

# Modified printouts so only files are listed. (Not directories).     
+          

# Ver. 1.2 Sept. 19, 2001. Accepts optional parameters 'modified' and 
+'created' followed
 by directory names. If these parameters are used then the program wil
+l copy all modified
 files to the modified directory and all changed files to the changed 
+directory.
