There are 4 ARexx scripts in this archive to be used with Directory Opus 5.

I initially wrote these to be able to compare the files in a drawer on
my hard disk with the same files I'd backed up onto another disk.

SlctDiff.dopus5:
   Selects files in the source lister with DIFFERENT names
   to those of the files in the destination lister.

SlctSame.dopus5:
   Selects files in the source lister with the SAME names
   as the files in the destination lister.

SlctDS.dopus5:
   Selects files with the same names in the source lister
   as those in the destination lister according to the
   variable options given with the Dopus args '{Qa}'.

   The options can be..

   files with same, different, later or earlier DATE
   Or
   files with same, different, larger or smaller SIZE.


Read the SlctComp.doc in the archive for a more in depth discription
of each of the scripts.

And for as a bonus I've included SelectFileByComment.dopus5 which
selects files in a source lister by the files' comment from
a string entered in a requester. The search is case insensitive.
If the entered string is found in any files' comment the file is selected.
