WinFC Ver. 1.0b
Copyright (C) 1993-1994 by Kevin Routley and
Rick Trowel. All Rights Reserved.
WinFC is a Microsoft Windows 3.1(tm) text file comparison
utility which graphically represents the differences between
two text files. You can conveniently navigate through the
differences between two files using toolbar navigation or
by the next/previous menu item found in the difference menu.
The currently active difference is indicated by the red
graphics area between the two files, and all other differences
are indicated by the black graphics.
New Features in V1.0B:
----------------------
V1.0A fixed the GPF that occurred when closing using the system
menu or Alt-F4.
V1.0B adds the ability to ignore blank lines and white spaces
when comparing files. Currently, these options can only be
selected by editing WINFC.INI (provided in the evaluation package).
To ignore blank lines when comparing files, edit WINFC.INI and
change the line:
IgnoreBlankLines=0
to:
IgnoreBlankLines=1
To ignore white space (blanks and tabs) when comparing files, edit
WINFC.INI and change the line:
IgnoreSpaces=0
to:
IgnoreSpaces=1
Also in V1.0B is the ability to turn off the graphics highlighting
in the center region. To turn off the graphics, edit WINFC.INI and
change the line:
NoGraphics=0
to:
NoGraphics=1
Note that these options will not take effect until the next time
that WinFC is activated. A future release of WinFC will provide
a dialog box to dynamically change these and future options.
Installation:
-------------
1) Create a directory to hold all the WinFC related files.
The recommended directory name (used in the following
instructions) is "C:\WINFC".
2) Copy all WinFC-related files to this directory. You need
WinFC1B.exe at a minimum.
3) Add WinFC to a program group by selecting the program
group you want to add WinFC to, select the program
manager's File->New menu item entry. Select "Program item"
and the press "OK". Fill in the following fields and then
press "OK":

Uninstall
---------
To uninstall WinFC goto the WinFC directory, or the

created a separate directory for the WinFC files, that
directory can now be deleted.
