Aside from DOS shell scripting, is there a method that is native to
Windows 2000 to recursively compare two file trees?

You could use batch files or VB Script files.

Thanks, Pegasus. I was hoping that there would be a way to do this
without scripting, as that means it isn't within reach at the moment.
However, I wasn't necessarily expecting that such a solution existed.
Thanks for the heads up on that.

No. Use Treecomp.

EWWW! YUCK! No! Unnecessary to have to wrote [write?]
a whole new program every time you want to compare 2 trees.

While having a custom-made program such as Treecomp is
preferable to writing one's own script, you appear to be
unaware that a script well-written does not need to be rewritten
for each occasion. It only needs to be re-invoked with parameters
that match the current requirements.
