I am pleased to announce that version 1.23 of SyncDiscs is
available for download.

For those not aware of SyncDiscs, SyncDiscs is an application to make
the contents of two discs or directories the same. For example, it
may be used for keeping general backups on the same or different
media or machines, to keep an exact copy of a hard disc on a
removable disc, or for synchronising a portable computers disc with
that on a main machine.

SyncDiscs was originally written by David Pilling. With the full
agreement and encouragement of David, Chris Johnson has taken on the
maintenance and development of SyncDiscs.

The main changes in this update:

* SyncDiscs now has a unique filetype, allowing the complete details
of any synchronisation to be saved to file. When this file is
double clicked in a filer display, then the synchronisation is
immediately run using all the stored values. A SyncDiscs job file
(or selection of files) can also be dragged to SyncDiscs to start
the job(s).

* SyncDiscs will now queue jobs, and process them in turn. Up to 20
jobs can be queued at any one time. New jobs can be queued while a
synchronisation is already in progress.

The HTML help files within the application give more details of the
new features.

The new version can be obtained from:
http://www.chrisjohnson.plus.com/software/sync.html
or
http://www.chris-johnson.org.uk/software/sync.html

I should emphasise that any comments about, or problems with, this
new version should be addressed to myself and *not* to David Pilling.
