Option (B) -- Setting this option "YES" causes CPD to default to displaying only files which exist in both directories. The default may be toggled with the command line "B" option. If this option is "YES", make sure the M option is "NO"; otherwise, you will not like the result. Option (M) -- If this option is "YES", CPD will default to displaying only files in the first directory which do not exist in the second directory. The default may be toggled by using the command line "M" option. If this option is "YES", make sure option B is "NO". Take my word for it. Option (A) -- "YES" here makes CPD set the archive attributes of files in the first directory by default that are duplicated in the second directory. I can't imagine anyone wanting to make this the default mode of operation, but here it is if you have a need for it. The configured default can be toggled with the command line "A" option. Option (S) -- As distributed CPD defaults to finding only non-system (directory) files in the first directory. A "YES" allows CPD to always find all files, including system (hidden) files. The default set here can be toggled with the command line "S" option. This option does not affect the second directory, where any matching files are always found without regard for their attributes. Option (P) -- CPD pauses, waiting for a keypress, each time the screen fills, if "YES" is selected here. "NO" defaults to continuous scrolling, which can be paused with Control-S. The number of lines on the console screen is obtained from the environment. The chosen default can be toggled with the command line "P" option. Option (F) -- Choose here whether you want CPD to send a form feed to the printer after it prints the file display. The option has no effect unless the command line "L" (echo to printer) option is used. The form feed default can be toggled with the command line "F" option.
