I am looking for a utility that will compare two folders and document the
differences between them. Searching by name and date is required;
searching by type and creator is highly desired. Does anybody know of a
tool to do this, or perhaps a larger utility that includes this
capability?

Just in case anybody else is looking for this same functionality, I found
that the file, folder and disk tool FileBuddy
(http://www.skytag.com/FileBuddy.stuff/FB_home_page.shtml) will create
"profiles" of folders and then compare the profiles, accomplishing my
original goal. (It also seems to do a whole lot of other potentially
useful stuff, but I haven't really delved into that yet).
