Does anyone have any comments about UltraCompare (from the guy who wrote Ultraedit)? There's a 30-45 day free trial download available. Features of V4.1(from their web page): http://www.ultraedit.com/index.php?name=Content&pid=34 Ignore options: * Ignore case * Ignore spaces * Ignore blank lines * Line terminator differences * Lines which begin with: * Lines which contain: * Lines which end with: * A defined number of lines at the beginning of file * A defined number of lines at the end of file It's not free, but $29 isn't too bad if it's anything like as good as Ultraedit. The early (~V2.0) version I tried out some time ago did not have all the ignore options, just the first few, IIRC. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany --"it's the network..."
