=====
ABOUT
=====
A module for DOpus Magellan that compares the entries (files only, 
no directories) in the source lister with those in the target lister.
The files are not compared by their content, only their sizes and date
stamps (if not disabled by option NODATECOMPARISON) are checked.

Matching files are hidden in both listers. Of the different files, 
only the newer files and those missing in the other lister are 
selected.

This replicates the 'Mark newer, hide same' function of Windows tool
Total Commander.

Only file names, size and date (if not switched off by the
NODATECOMPARISON argument) are compared, not the file contents
themselves.


I take no responsibility for errors, but you are welcome to report bugs
to me.

CHANGES
=======
1.2 (18.03.2024)
- Added the optional argument HIDEINFOS. When this is set, all .info
  files in source and target lister are considered as matching and are
  hidden. This helps to keep an eye on the files themselves and not
  their icons.

1.1 (26.09.2023)
- The lister entries for the comparison are now read directly from the 
  lister using DOpus API calls. Thus, as of this version, this module 
  also works with listers from the ArcDir or XADopus archive modules, 
  for example. This was not possible in version 1.0, where only 
  dos.library calls were used to read the files from the lister paths.
- Added the optional argument NODATECOMPARISON. If this is set, the 
  files will be treated as if they have the same date, regardless of 
  their date stamps.
- Added the source code of this module

1.0 (17.09.2022)
