I have released version 2.11 of the LPTool utility, wich has a few
MAJOR fixes supporting directory synchronisation.

The LPTS.CMD REXX macro now performs synchronisation of directories
(or complete trees) in one or two directions based on date and time
information on each side.

There is also better support for configuring LPTool for different LPT
port addresses (DEVICE command and LPTDD.CMD)

For those of you that don't know LPTool yet, its main purpose is
file-transfer using a standard LapLink parallel cable connection
(same cable as LapLink, MS Windows INTRSRV etc). It is being used
mainly for synchronization of laptops that do not have network
connectivity.

It is not very fast (max 45 Kb/sec) but reliable...

It also supports remote execution of commands over the cable,
including redirection of output (similar to TCP/IP REXEC).

At the moment, only an OS/2 version exists, so you cannot exchange
files with a Windows or Linux machine.

You can get LPTool from my web-site:

LPTool, just like my DFSee utility, is FREEWARE. There is a nice
screen-shot with additional information there as well.
