I and my partner are doing a lot of development on a lot of different source
code files on my and his AT. The trouble is, at the end of every day, we need
a reliable way to be sure that we have both been updated with each others
changes. Usually (99% of the time), we change different source code files so
a program that checked one set of dates and times aginst another to determine
which files on which system need updating would suffice. The program would
then call his AT (running a receiver program) and we would both be updated.
In the event we both updated the same program (rare as we discuss what we're
doing ahead of time), filecomp would be run aginst the two files and a message
(in the form of a text file or something) would be left to both of us. Short
of getting UNIX, I was hoping there was a solution to this problem under DOS.
For example, if I could run the control program on my end each night after I
got off my system which would call his system at 3 a.m., I doubt it would
interfere with any development we're doing. Of course, his system would be
running the receiver program which would receive my updated files and send his
updated files. Does such a package exist?
