     ZipCopy for Windows 95/NT 
     Shareware release version
========================================

ZipCopy is a utility for synchronizing files in different drives/directories,
particularly between a hard disk and IOMega Zip disk or equivalent. It is
particularly targetted at users who wish to keep subsets of the folders 
on 2 machines fully synchronised (eg home & office PC, or desktop & laptop).

It features the ability to specify source & target folders, mask out file
types to be excluded from the synchronisation process. Operation can
range from a competely visual mode with tree-display of files & folders
to be updated to a completely silent mode suitable for background operation.
ZipCopy incorporates a project manager that allows collections of synchronisation
projectsa to be managed as a group, and is suitable for control by a
scheduling program such as Windows Scheduler.

ZipCopy has a wide range of customisation options that allow you to
tailor the application to your own preferred method of working.

It has been in use by the author and colleagues for over 18 months, and 
extensively in the context of program development.
