People who have registered on our myc4d portal or on TurboMiddleware now have access to a new cool freeware utility - kbmDiff.

As the name says, its a tool that can compare files and show you the differences. In addition it allows you to manually merge selected differences from one file to the other.

I cant take the credit for all the work behind it, as 95% of it was made by Angus Johnson as a demo for his TDiff component. I have however added several features to it like:

• Ability to compare normally non comparable files like unformatted XML (ofcourse using kbmMW's DOM XML parser/generator) and binary files.
• Scrollwheel support
• Support for clicking and dragging in the right differences summary pane to show where the difference is in the text

and some more details here and there to imo improve the user experience.

The application is actually quite versatile, and can easily be compared with the typical commercial tools in the market.

Angus Johnson, who deserves every credit, have a home page here: http://angusj.com/delphi/ where the original source code for TDiff and the TextDiff (as his project was called) can be found.

To get the kbmDiff version of it signup at: www.myc4d.com or at www.turbomiddleware.com
