You have quite a gap between work and home I assume (unlike my 1 minute) so clocks need not be too accurate. Simply read all file attributes in designated directories and copy across newer ones as appropriate, of course date stamping them again. I think that is one of the major failings of QDOS/SMSQ - that date stamps are transitory at the O/S level. I know 'backup' in QPAC2 is better, but date stamps should be absolutely fixed, unless forced.
