What for? Word can compare two docs. However, for programming I use Araxis Merge.
I'm just waiting to see if I pass out. Long story.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I have word docs, pdfs, excel files, you get the idea...

You can use fc /b to do a binary compare between two files.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A binary compare on a PDF doesn't sound very useful.
But I'm not sure how approachable a comparison of PDFs is anyway, since they're hybrid type docs.

All is well that ends in pizza.
There are a couple which rate pretty high at C|net's downloads.com site.
Beyond Compare 2.3.1 build 231
ExamDiff 1.6m, which has a paid Pro version, too.
and there's one whose user ratings are high, but it has not yet been reviewed, Compare It! 3.04
But i have yet to try these. Perhaps the names will jog some memories, or at least give you some to try.

I agree. It might be helpful only as a very basic way to verify if they are the same or altered, but not what has changed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
HBO says it doesn't want to allow its programming to be TIVOed: [link]

I don't think most people realize that when we go to digital TV, networks will have the power to prevent any and all recording (if this legislation goes through). That's right - they wanna plug the analog hole and prevent VCR recordings too....

Dear HBO,
Suck on it.
