Introduction:
-------------

This is a small Commandline Tool to copy the Profiles from a Language to a Project
file or vice versa.

I thought it could be useful to have an easy way to copy all Profiles, which you
have configured for a language to a project. Example, you have configured the
Profiles perl.exe and perldoc.bat for the Perl Language, now you make a Project,
and you want to have this Profiles also for "Run Project", not only for "Run File",
with maybe other arguments, because this Project has a mainfile.

It just reads the "Run Programs" settings from a Language or Project, and writes
it to a Project or Language. This is not a big thing, it just saves some time,
maybe.

If the Project file does not exist it creates it, but the Filename must not
be empty. Make sure the Project file is not loaded by syn.

This program is highly BETA, I wouldn't use it for valuable Project files!


Commandline Arguments
---------------------

Usage:
   synclp [Options] [-cm <CopyMode>] -src <Source> <Destination>

    -cm: CopyMode, possible Values (default is l2p):
         l2p: Copy Language Profile to Project
         l2l: Copy Language Profile to another Language
         p2l: Copy Project Profile to Language
         p2p: Copy Project Profile to another Project

    -src: switch to identify the Source
    <Source>: the source to copy from, either a language name or project file
    <Destination>: Destination to copy to

    Options:
      -b : Backup Projectfile
      -ni: No Interaction, you're not prompted for a Language or Project
      -s : Silent, no progress

      -l : Lists all valid languages, which can be copied
      -?, -help: Show the help

If the Languagename or the Filename contains spaces, you must enclose it in Quotes.
