Hi Rodney,
Please watch the language. I like good old fc, the DOS utility.

Thanks.

Ok, I use Ultra Edit 32, and I am pissed that the file comparison utility
is pretty well hard to use by the visually impaired.  You can not click
inside the comparison window and walk up and down the file with the
keyboard navigation.  Looks like you have to find the scroll buttons and
mouse click on them.

I keep coming up on this subject of comparing files, but keep skirting the
issue by getting around the task by one way or another.

I have to bite the bullet and use one tool for the task.

I would like it to be free, easy to use by the blind, and a basic flat file
comparison (text comparison).

What do you use for windows?

Thanks.
Rodney
