Coming from the "What's the Difference" department, Lockergnomie Dean Weaver drops a tried-and-true DOS proggie. A few weeks ago, the FC.EXE console app was highlighted. Not being one for command line interfaces, this Gnomie did a little disc diving to uncover another 'obscure' Microsoft utility. Pop in your Windows 98 system CD and browse to the Tools \ Reskit \ Files folder; Windows 2000 users will find the program in their CD's Support \ Tools folder sitting in the 'SUPPORT.CAB' file. WINDIFF.EXE will allow you to compare one text file with another. This is useful in situations where there are several versions of a single document to review or complicated LOG entries to analyze.
