Do you have the ZTree file manager ? If not, I believe there
is a trial version available. Go to Zedtek.Com. It does have
filemask and Directory Compare functions, but for what you
describe, I'm not sure if it would handle the job expeditiously.
What seems to be called for is something like the old FINDUPE
utility, but one that could work against / between a pair of drives.
I'm not aware of such a thing offhand, but maybe someone else is.
