#Compare after write CD

After you have written files to a CD, how do you compare the files and/or directory structure on that CD to the original file and/or directory structure? I had been using just the DOS file compare, but that does not span subdirectories. I'm looking for something else. Is there software that CD vendors make specifically for this purpose? Thanks in advance. Pollyanne

Pollyanne, You could set your old subdirectory as a drive letter then compare the entire drive or you could get Disc Detective which will read every sector on the disc and will compare to image files. Jerry Warner CD Solutions, Inc.

Pollyanne, you did not write, which software package you are using. If you are using WinOnCD ToGo! you can select the Verify option which will compare all files on your CD file by file using MSCDEX which I think is exactly what you are looking for. Sincerely Peter

You can download XCOMP.ZIP from the forum library. This is a program I wrote that is similar to DOS COMP, except that it spans subdirectories and produces a summary comparison report.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
