- WINMERGE
-
- WinMerge is an Open Source comparing and merging tool for Windows. WinMerge can
- compare both folders and files, presenting differences in a visual text format
- that is easy to understand and handle. WinMerge can be used as an external
- differencing/merging tool or as a standalone application.
-
- WinMerge has many helpful supporting features to make comparing, synchronising,
- and merging as easy and useful as possible. Several programming languages and
- other file formats are syntax-highlighted.
-
- The latest WinMerge version and WinMerge information is available at
- http://winmerge.org/.
-
- Quick start
- ===========
- To learn how to perform basic operations after installing WinMerge, click
- Help>WinMerge Help and navigate to the Quick start topic. Or, go to the Web
- version at http://winmerge.org/docs/manual/QuickStart.html.
-
- WinMerge Help
- =============
- WinMerge Help is installed locally as a Microsoft HTML Help file, WinMerge.chm,
- when you install WinMerge. To open Help, click Help>WinMerge Help or press F1 in
- the WinMerge window. On the command line, run the WinMerge executable with the
- /? help switch.
-
- You can also browse the HTML version of WinMerge Help at
- http://winmerge.org/docs/manual/.
-
- Archive Support
- ===============
- WinMerge uses the 7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org) Open Source archive tool for
- archive file support. We recommended installing the 7-Zip application by
- downloading and running the 7-Zip plugin installer from
- http://winmerge.org/downloads/.
-
- If you cannot install the 7-Zip tool for any reason, you can use the 7-zip
- plugin installer to install only the files required for archive file
- support. See the Help topic, "7-Zip and archive support" for details.

- Questions or suggestions about WinMerge? A good place to start is the WinMerge
- community bulletin board at http://forums.winmerge.org/. Developers frequently
- read and respond to questions in both forums. Use the Open Discussion forum for
- general WinMerge issues, such as questions about usage. Use the Developers forum
- for WinMerge development issues.
-
- Bugs and feature requests
- =========================
- If an issue is not resolved in the the WinMerge forums, check the project
- trackers: go to http://project.winmerge.org/, and click a link in the Trackers
- menu, like Bugs and Feature Requests, where you can browse or submit items.
-
- If you submit a bug, please include the WinMerge version number in your
