Comparing existence of massive number of files - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Antonio:

	CDCheck looks like what I need. I can do two checksum files (one on
each directory) and compare the results.

	Thanks a lot for the suggestion.

  	Any good MD5 utilities for Windows that will handle 
 large file sets? I downloaded two today but one is a file-by 
 file MD5 and the other doesn't recurse down the directory 
 tree...it only does the current directory. 
These days, when I put together a data CD, I use CDCheck to
build a CRC file for it. Once the CD is burned, I verify using
the same tool to be sure it all made it onto the CD.

I use MD5SUM too, but that does one directory at a time 
(AFAICT) so it is a little less useful.
