Good morning. I did a search and could not find what I was looking for. I know I've seen it mentioned, and maybe I just didn't input the right key word for the search.

Anyway, what program do you guys use for comparing your files?<
Have a great day! Terry

Hey guys! I've had a long day with the kids being sick and all. Thought I would drop in to see how much that beyondcompare2 was... and OMG and I cannot believe all the responses left for me to read.
Honestly, we have to talk about toys more often, eh? bigsmile
HuwR - I think I'll check out the free ones that you and the others have posted about. Thank you.

Thirty bucks isn't a bad price for beyondcompare2 considering all the reviews on it.

Well gotta go for now. Thanks again everyone!<
Have a great day! Terry

I'll put another vote in for WinMerge, and I have to say I am glad I stopped by here. Anon, that is quite the list of portable apps! A lot of those look like things I could use.<

You also mention - "Well worth the money". How much is it?
BeyondCompare is so intelligently coded that it will allow you to use it free for 30 days - but these are not 30 days since you use it the first time, but actually 30 different days on which you used the app, which may span a lot longer than 30 days from your first use - just a small indication of a how well thought out this tool is.

I've paid the 30 bucks and have never regreted it.<

That's nice to know! I just paid bills... but considering that info, by the time my 30 days is up I'll be able to get it! Thanks for the info ruirib. smile<

Does anyone know if WinMerge is Vista compatible? Sounds like a great tool.<
