================
ValidateOriginal
================

Run this program to create and validate a file.

It makes a small text file TheFile.txt and adds an empty alternate
stream.  This stream is looked for on validate.

If the current directory when run is not on an NTFS partition the
program will fail when it tries to create the alternate stream.

If the file is copied to a CD or FAT device like a typical flash
drive or floppy the alternate stream is lost.  FTP, etc. will also
drop alternate streams.  The program can test for this and detect
a "counterfeit" file.

Normal file share network copying will carry the alternate streams
though as long as the source and destination are NTFS.


=======
Dir.cmd
=======

Lists the current directory (Project folder) including alternate
streams.

The batch file Dir.cmd works on Vista or later, but XP's Dir
command lacks the /R switch.

You could also download Streams.exe from:

This utility works on XP or later.
