Notice: There will be no further updates to the comparison tool, however I am in the process of making the code open source, so if you would like a copy please send me an email (address in readme file). You will need Delphi 2007 (win32) to work with the source (earlier versions may be possible). All VCL components are either my own or freeware and will be included.
