Comparing files

[Altered Reality]

Where can I find a freeware program to make a binary comparison of two files I load?

I know this is going to sound weird but... the classical "cmp" Unix command does exactly that. I think it's a good idea to install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) to get access to some basic software tools.

there's a one called WinDiff on most windows CDs.

On a XP cd, it is in \SUPPORT\TOOLS inside the support.cab. (this is probably the same for W2K)

On a 98 cd, it can be found in \tools\reskit\file

extract/copy windiff.exe, windiff.hlp, and gutils.dll to a folder of your choice and run windiff

Thanks :-)

I also seen some tools at work, they used when someone worked on their sourcecode.
Visual stuff and all, looked pretty handy.
Dont know what is was though...
