"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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

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

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.

Love,

Your fans

Our wings are not tired

I cancelled my HBO and my Showtime, don't miss it. If I desire one of their shows I'll just wait and NetFlix the DVDs.
