- Purpose
- -------
- A program to compare two given files.
-
-
- To use
- ------
- Double click on the icon in the filer window to load the program. Drag two
- separate files onto the icon on the icon bar. Two windows should open, one
- for each file. Then click menu on the icon on the icon bar, and decide
- whether you wish to keep a log file of the differences between the two
- files, by going across the 'Options' selection. Finally, select 'Start',
- from the same menu. A window should open, titled 'Compare - Status', and if
- you selected to keep a log then a normal save window should appear. Drag the
- icon to the desired viewer to tell the program where to keep the log. Then
- the program should start the comparison. If you opted not to keep a log then
- the program will start the comparison straight away.
- If the files are of different length then the program will tell you so, and
- end there. However, should the files be of the same length then the
- comparison will be started in earnest. When the program is working you can
- click on the 'Pause' or 'Abort' icons at any time. If you click on pause
- then click on 'Resume' to (logically!) resume the comparison. If the program
- finds a difference then the status window will change, and a) tell you the
- position in the file of the difference; and b) ask you whether to continue
- the comparison or stop there.
