File Date Comparison Utility

Compares the last modification date of two files

Version 2.1.0
Released 2021-09-30
O/S Windows 2000 & later

Overview

This console application compares the last modification dates of two files whose names are passed on the command line and returns an exit code that indicates the result.

The type of comparison required can be customised. The program can compare either the last modification date or the creation date of files. In the case of shortcut files either the date of the shortcut file itself or that of the file it references can be compared.

For details of how to use the programs read README.md – the file is linked to in the documentation section below.
