I'll second Ajas and Aaron. I love BeyondCompare. Of course, we all have our preferences, and I won't say I've done an extensive comparison, if you'll pardon the pun. :-) But I love it and use it all the time. It compares file, directories, and can even compare info from the clipboard. It really is very powerful, and has more features than even regular users of the tool will realize.
It isn't free, but it is inexpensive. What I really like (in recommending it) is that the trial is not just "x days" from installation but instead "x days of use". Plenty of time to decide if you like it, so I would highly recommend trying it out even if others seem equally or more compelling. Thanks for mentioning the CF411 list with other alternatives, too, James. Glad you saw that. /charlie From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ajas Mohammed Sent: Monday, July 20, 2009 9:42 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [houcfug] Re: File comparison tool If you have money to buy, I would recommend beyond compare by http://www.scootersoftware.com/ This tool is a beauty... I simply love it. You can download and try it before you buy. You wont regret.Its cheap, about 30-50 bucks. If money is issue, then open source winmerge would be an option. <Ajas Mohammed /> http://ajashadi.blogspot.com We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are. No matter what, find a way. Because thats what winners do. You can't improve what you don't measure. Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
