RE: File Comparison in Windows

Rodney,
TextPad has a very nice and screen reader friendly file compare. I use
it frequently. If you've ever used the UNIX diff command to compare 2
files, the compare output in TextPad is much like that.

Hi,
Call me a prude if you like. I try to catch offensive language, but I am
human and miss sometimes. I do not want to see such language if I can
help
it at work. I would like to keep this list on so I can get work-related
knowledge if I can, but you never know the views of people who moderate.
People at work do have the right to moderate your email.

Thanks for your understanding.

Jim

Thanks Jim,
Let me try FC out.  I bet that will work.

But I am confused about you asking me to watch my language.
I don't curse, or use profanity.  I used light words such as "pissed".
And
I know others have used way, way, way worse than that.  Were you
referring
to that word?  Or was there a word that the screen reader announced as
something else.

Thanks again.
Rodney

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
