Description    : This program allows the comparison of a list of files with 
                 the characteristics of those same files from a previous time.

Directions/Use : This application may be run by executing the /File Status
                 executive command using the following mandatory and optional 
                 fields:
                 
                 File List
                 
                 This is a required field.  This may utilize any CTOS 
                 Executive recognized wild cards.  @-files may be used and may 
                 include wild cards (but not embedded @-files).  Note: the 
                 'Files' wildcard ~ is NOT supported.  Multiple sub-parameters 
                 may be specified.  or consistency, for a particular 
                 comparison run, this should match the specification given 
                 when the reference data was originally captured.
                 
                 [Print File]
                 
                 This field is optional.  The default is [vid].  This 
                 specifies the destination for the output report.
                 
                 [Data File (Current Dir)]
                 
                 This field is optional.  The default is 'FileStatus.Data'.
                 This specifies the name of the data file which is used for 
                 comparison purposes.  This should be unique for each 'File 
                 List' combination you use.  This file is created if not 
                 present and replaced if present.
                 
                 [Show UnChanged?] 
                 
                 This field is optional. The default is 'no'.  This specifies 
                 whether files which have not altered in any way since the 
                 last run are to appear in the report.
                 
                 [Show Accessed?]
                 
                 This field is optional. The default is 'no'.  This specifies 
                 whether files which have been accessed (but not updated)
                 are to appear in the report.
                 
                 [Suppress Modified?]
                 
                 This field is optional.  The default is 'no'.  This specifies 
                 whether files which have been modified are to appear in the 
                 report.  The report is sorted by Volume, Directory and file 
                 name.  The layout is similar to the sFiles report, with the 
                 filename prefixed by an indicator of what aspect of the file 
                 has changed.
                 
                 A: The file has been accessed (based on Access date)
                 C: The file has been re-created (based on Creation date)
                 D: The file has been deleted (prior details printed)
                 M: The file has been modified (based on Modify date)
                 N: This is a new file.
                 U: The file is unmodified
                 
                 Restrictions: The volume name (if specified) must be 
                               consistent between multiple runs.  If specified 
                               differently (eg: 'Sys' one run, 'D0' the next)
                               incorrect results will be reported.  I suggest 
                               using @-files.
