Making Exact Copies
By default, AutoSYNC does not synchronize a file if the destination file was modified 
more recently than the source file. This behavior allows you to customize the 
destination file for local use.
When AutoSYNC synchronizes a file, the two files are exactly the same, including the 
modification time stamp. If you specify the TIMEEXACT option, all files that are not 
exactly the same will be synchronized, overwriting any destination files you have 
modified.
Excluding ZZ Files
Files that begin with the characters ZZ are usually temporary files that were 
abandoned, or saveabend files created by Inspect. If you want to synchronize such 
files, specify the ZZINCLUDE option.
