AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS PROHIBITED.

phonogram or performance and includes cinematographic adaptations or any
other form in which the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted including

of this License. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical work,
performance or phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation
with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an Adaptation for the
purpose of this License.
   2. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works, such as
encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances, phonograms or broadcasts, or
other works or subject matter other than works listed in Section 1(f) below,
which, by reason of the selection and arrangement of their contents,
constitute intellectual creations, in which the Work is included in its
entirety in unmodified form along with one or more other contributions, each
constituting separate and independent works in themselves, which together are
assembled into a collective whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will
not be considered an Adaptation (as defined above) for the purposes of this
License.

individual or entity can be identified, the publisher; and in addition (i) in
the case of a performance the actors, singers, musicians, dancers, and other

the extent it is not otherwise considered a literary or artistic work.
   7. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
License who has not previously violated the terms of this License with
respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor
to exercise rights under this License despite a previous violation.
   8. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the Work and
to communicate to the public those public recitations, by any means or
process, including by wire or wireless means or public digital performances;

means including signs, sounds or images.
   9. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any means including
without limitation by sound or visual recordings and the right of fixation

2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to reduce, limit,
or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from limitations or
exceptions that are provided for in connection with the copyright protection
under copyright law or other applicable laws.

3. License Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to exercise
the rights in the Work as stated below:

   1. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the Collections;
   2. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such Adaptation,
including any translation in any medium, takes reasonable steps to clearly
label, demarcate or otherwise identify that changes were made to the original
Work. For example, a translation could be marked "The original work was
translated from English to Spanish," or a modification could indicate "The
original work has been modified.";
   3. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as incorporated
in Collections; and,
   4. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations.

The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known
or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such
modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other
media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all rights not expressly granted
by Licensor are hereby reserved, including but not limited to the rights set
forth in Section 4(d).

4. Restrictions. The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made
subject to and limited by the following restrictions:

   1. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the terms of
this License. You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier
(URI) for, this License with every copy of the Work You Distribute or
Publicly Perform. You may not offer or impose any terms on the Work that
restrict the terms of this License or the ability of the recipient of the
Work to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the
License. You may not sublicense the Work. You must keep intact all notices
that refer to this License and to the disclaimer of warranties with every
copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or
Publicly Perform the Work, You may not impose any effective technological
measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Work
from You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of
the License. This Section 4(a) applies to the Work as incorporated in a
Collection, but this does not require the Collection apart from the Work
itself to be made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a
Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent
practicable, remove from the Collection any credit as required by Section
4(c), as requested. If You create an Adaptation, upon notice from any
Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Adaptation any
credit as required by Section 4(c), as requested.
   2. You may not exercise any of the rights granted to You in Section 3
above in any manner that is primarily intended for or directed toward
commercial advantage or private monetary compensation. The exchange of the
Work for other copyrighted works by means of digital file-sharing or
otherwise shall not be considered to be intended for or directed toward
commercial advantage or private monetary compensation, provided there is no
payment of any monetary compensation in connection with the exchange of
copyrighted works.
   3. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any Adaptations or
Collections, You must, unless a request has been made pursuant to Section
4(a), keep intact all copyright notices for the Work and provide, reasonable
to the medium or means You are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author
(or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, and/or if the Original Author
and/or Licensor designate another party or parties (e.g., a sponsor
institute, publishing entity, journal) for attribution ("Attribution
Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice, terms of service or by other
reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; (ii) the title of the
Work if supplied; (iii) to the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if
any, that Licensor specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI
does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the Work;
and, (iv) consistent with Section 3(b), in the case of an Adaptation, a credit
identifying the use of the Work in the Adaptation (e.g., "French translation
of the Work by Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by
Original Author"). The credit required by this Section 4(c) may be
implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of
a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit will appear, if a credit
for all contributing authors of the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as
part of these credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits
for the other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may only
use the credit required by this Section for the purpose of attribution in the
manner set out above and, by exercising Your rights under this License, You
may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection with,
sponsorship or endorsement by the Original Author, Licensor and/or
Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use of the Work, without
the separate, express prior written permission of the Original Author,
Licensor and/or Attribution Parties.
   4.

      For the avoidance of doubt:
         1. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions
in which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory
licensing scheme cannot be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive right
to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under
this License;
         2. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those jurisdictions in
which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory
licensing scheme can be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive right to
collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under
this License if Your exercise of such rights is for a purpose or use which is
otherwise than noncommercial as permitted under Section 4(b) and otherwise
waives the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory
licensing scheme; and,
         3. Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor reserves the right to
collect royalties, whether individually or, in the event that the Licensor is
a member of a collecting society that administers voluntary licensing schemes,
via that society, from any exercise by You of the rights granted under this
License that is for a purpose or use which is otherwise than noncommercial as
permitted under Section 4(c).
   5. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may be
otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce, Distribute or
Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as part of any Adaptations or
Collections, You must not distort, mutilate, modify or take other derogatory
action in relation to the Work which would be prejudicial to the Original
Author's honor or reputation. Licensor agrees that in those jurisdictions
(e.g. Japan), in which any exercise of the right granted in Section 3(b) of
this License (the right to make Adaptations) would be deemed to be a
distortion, mutilation, modification or other derogatory action prejudicial
to the Original Author's honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not
assert, as appropriate, this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by the
applicable national law, to enable You to reasonably exercise Your right
under Section 3(b) of this License (right to make Adaptations) but not
otherwise.

5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer

UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, LICENSOR
OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER
DEFECTS, ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

6. Limitation on Liability. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
IN NO EVENT WILL LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT
OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

7. Termination

   1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this License.
Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections from You
under this License, however, will not have their licenses terminated provided
such individuals or entities remain in full compliance with those licenses.
Sections 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this License.
   2. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted here is
perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work).
Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the right to release the Work
under different license terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time;
provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw this
License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted
under the terms of this License), and this License will continue in full
force and effect unless terminated as stated above.

8. Miscellaneous

   1. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a Collection,
the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the Work on the same terms
and conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
   2. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation, Licensor
offers to the recipient a license to the original Work on the same terms and
conditions as the license granted to You under this License.
   3. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under
applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action by the
parties to this agreement, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum
extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
   4. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no
breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and
signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.
   5. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the Work licensed here. There are no understandings, agreements or
representations with respect to the Work not specified here. Licensor shall
not be bound by any additional provisions that may appear in any
communication from You. This License may not be modified without the mutual
written agreement of the Licensor and You.
   6. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in this
License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne Convention for
the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as amended on September 28,
1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the WIPO Copyright Treaty of 1996, the
WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty of 1996 and the Universal Copyright
Convention (as revised on July 24, 1971). These rights and subject matter
take effect in the relevant jurisdiction in which the License terms are
sought to be enforced according to the corresponding provisions of the
implementation of those treaty provisions in the applicable national law. If
the standard suite of rights granted under applicable copyright law includes
additional rights not granted under this License, such additional rights are
deemed to be included in the License; this License is not intended to
restrict the license of any rights under applicable law.

==== Description: ====
The Direct! Suit is designed to be a full (Dependencies included) Back Up
Suit. The Direct! Suit was originally conceived to be a dependency-free
Backup Utility that has a portable counterpart so as the files can be
restored on a GNU\Linux Computer that may not have The Direct! Suit
installed. The Idea Originated when I needed to Compare a Directory on my Old
PC(now used as a firewall)  with the same folder on my new machine to check
that I had Successfully copied all the files across, the result the First
Script the then "cmpdirs.sh" after Finishing the script I toyed with the idea
of writing a full suit and in the end I decided to do so and so came about
Directory!Backup v1 published then in a forum.
and now we near a finished project that is ready to stick on the shelf for a
few months until I feel the need to Update it.
Main Details:
The Suit is Compatible with any GNU\Linux Distribution that has a BASH
shell.
All the Dependencies are to be packaged with the Main Releases although a
Release Requiring Dependencies will also be available for users that wish to
save space.
Main Features:
The Suit Will be able to Backup and Restore to any commonly used GNU\Linux
Archive Type with an option to put the file (if not an ISO) into an ISO for
Burning to a CD or DVD.
The Suit will be free of dependencies. and thus a portable version will be
exportable from the Main Menu thus allowing for it to be used on other
GNU\Linux Computers that do not have the program installed.
The Portable Suit Will have a built in installer so as a permanent copy can
be put on a computer that doesn't have an installed copy.
the Suit Will be capable of checking the files in any specified directory
with those that are stored in an archive and vice-versa.
The Suit will also be able to compare 2 directories by ether direct
comparison or scanning on directory at one time and the second at an other
time.
The Suit is intended to be freely distributed to anyone.
Current intended archive types(in compression ratio order):
iso, tar, zip, rar, gzipped tar, bzip2ed tar, lha and all of these except for
iso, can be put into an iso.
Current Suit is still a way off finishing and is thus only available for
testing and veiwing purposes don't expect all features to work as yet current
files are available at :
http://www.geocities.com/timothy_armstrong/downloads/Project.zip


==== Other Software Required: ====
at current the project needs
/bin/bash(bash shell)
mkisofs, tar, zip, rar, gzip, bzip2, lha
untar, unzip, unrar, unlha, ungzip and unbzp2
of cource future plans are to limit this all to just /bin/bash
