    We developed that in tcl/tk some years ago…

    The GUI compiled a list of sites, and you had to select the source and the target sites.  After the selection of the two sites, it will give you a list of processes and threads in both sites (two windows side by side)

    With the mouse you could click in the processes and threads that you wanted to copy.

    Once you selected the processes and/or threads, it scans the NetConfig for the appropriate files: tclprocs, xlates, pdls, formats (variants) etc.

    The program would display in two windows the tclprocs in the source and target directories, recommending the ones that needed to be selected because there are missing, or have changed. I believe that it also warns if there are differences but the target file has a more recent timestamp. Once you click on the tclprocs that you want copied (you can ignore the recommendations) it will do the same with the xlates, pdls, etc.

    We used the program to copy threads from one site to another site. It worked fine but since we had strict procedures to move things to production (and it was in another box) we only used this in test and development.

    With time we stop using it and
