Martin,
As long as you use wildcards…you'll get a lot of filenames,the
program then sorts them into the desired items.
Look at it this way…you want to compare all the files on drive 1 with
all the files on drive 2. You'll end up with too many arguments, big deal, you
just script it to do a directory at a time. That's what I do under UNIX (where
the shell does the filename expansion)..it's no big deal. It's just slightly
different than what you're doing now…and it's uniform.
