Description:

ArcMirror is an application which provides a unique and simple way to
catalogue the contents of directories on any filing system (floppy discs,
hard discs, etc). It achieves this by producing a 'mirror' Spark archive
(filetype &DDC) of all the file tree structure with identical filesize,
filetype, date/time stamps, access details *without* including actually any
file (except '!Boot' & '!Sprites' files of application directories).

Consequently a mirror archive allows the user to quickly examine the
contents of any disc/directory from the Desktop, as if viewing the actual
filer directories. Of course you will need an archive filing system like
ArcFS or SparkFS in order to open a directory viewer of the mirror archive.
