- CMP V1.1
-
- This program is Freeware,so you may copy it as long as you don`t change
- anything on the documentation and the code.
-
- This program needs at least OS 2.04 to run.
-
- CMP is a useful tool to compare 2 files and display the differents between
- them. I often needed such a tool but I couldn`t find one,so I wrote this
- program.
-
- How to use ?
-
- To start CMP type "CMP [file1] [file2]" in the cli or simply double click
- its icon.
- Click the "load 1" and "load 2" gadgets to load 2 files and compare them
- by pressing the the "compare" gadget. After a short time the files are
- compared and now you can watch the differents by clicking the scrollbar or
- the "Next Ln" , "Prev Ln" , "Next Pg" , "Prev Pg" , "Next Dif" , "Prev Dif"
- gadgets.
-
- NextLn - Jump to the next line.
- Prev Ln - Jump to previous line.
- Next Pg - Jump to next page.
- Prev Pg - Jump to previous page.
- Next Dif - Jump to next different.
- Prev Dif - Jump to previous different.
-
- If there is a differnt between two bytes of the files the backround is
- marked blue.
-
- To look for version numbers click the "Version" gadget. CMP will now
- search for a string in the format "$VER: xxx ,0".
- Please notice that if the "0" at the of the string is not found the
- string won`t be displayed. This often happens if you search in text or
- AmigaGuide files.
-
- If you click the "Info" gadget some informations about the size of the
- files,the number of differents and free memory will be given.
-
- To quit CMP press the CloseGadget.
-
- If you want to,you can use the menu and the keyboard instead of pressing
- gadgets.
-

-

-
- CMP makes use of the reqtools.library by Nico François. So make sure
- you have installed it in your LIBS: Directory.
