Objet : [sftalk] Search for file / Check file properties

Hi All,
I wanted to implement an automatic resource-update facility, but I'm not
sure how to do it in SwiftForth, or where to find out.

I would like to be able to search for a file in a source directory and see
if we need to copy it to a target directory.

If the source file is found,

1. If it doesn't exist in the target directory, copy it and exit.

2. If it exists in the target directory and the source file is newer than
the target file, copy it and exit.

3. Else do nothing and exit.

Mostly I was just wondering what are the commands to use to 1.) find a file
in a directory and 2.) check its Last Modified attribute.

Roger
