Looking for Good File/Folder Comparison Utility
Posted: Mon Aug 18, 2003 1:19 pm
OK,
Lately, I've been getting entire directory structures from our vendor whenever they are releasing a simple "fix" to the application we support. The problem is, we don't know what files they have changed and this requires us to do a thorough testing of the entire application because we don't know where they have been in the code. This is very time consuming.
I would like to find a good, prefereable free-ware utility that would allow me to compare the existing directory tree to the one I have been given to replace it that will tell me which files are different. I don't want a simple date/time comparison to determine a difference.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
