functionnalities

• portable without any change to all common operating systems (windows, UNIX ...)
• easy install : no need to compile or to install many others tools
• fast
• display new/deleted/modified files
• display dangling links
• may be used by any user
• any number of base and config
• config file with exceptions and jokers
• configuration file syntax close from aide's one
• command line is perfect on UNIX, but windows users prefer graphical interfaces, so I add a Tk interface

my choices :

• perl : for portability, and source access
• MD5 for checksum : quick and in all perl distribution
• dbm database for storage : not clear text, easy of use

I was afraid for perl performances, but the result is surprising !
