[OPLINTECH] spring cleaning help wanted

[Chad Neeper]

I'm using Vista OS. In playing around with a few commands to do what you 
want, I discovered that at some point Microsoft has obsoleted XCOPY in 
favor of ROBOCOPY. That's good for you, if you have it. It looks like 
ROBOCOPY has the exact options you might be looking for. From the 
console prompt, type    robocopy /?   for the command parameters. It can 
supposedly include or exclude files based on date or age of the file. 
Check the /MAXAGE /MINAGE /MAXLAD and /MINLAD options.

I sorry I can't spend any more time on it right now, but this might help 
to get you started. Note that if you use the -L parameter, no files will 
actually be copied, so you are free to process the whole file system 
without actually making any copies. Essentially you can build a list 
without making any actual file copies.

Hope this helps,
Chad
