Windows help file TREEDIFF.HLP for details.


1. Overview
-----------

   TreeDiff is a Visual directory and/or archive comparison
tool for Windows. You can compare any directories, whether they are
located on disk, in ZIP archives, or pre-saved lists.

   The differences between files are shown in a dual scrolling window,
with colors highlighting different types of differences (inserted files,
deleted files, CRC differences between files, date differences, time
differences).

   You can FILTER out the results, in order to see only the differences
that are important for you. (see below for details)

   You can SAVE the results of comparison, for later use.

   You can take a snapshot of a full directory, to compare to later, so
you don't need the actual files anymore on disk.

   You can include and exclude files from comparison, using regular DOS
wildcards.

   Over 263 millions files can be handled, using a few memory.
(very useful for huge CD-ROMS or network drives !!)

   Common file operations can be performed on selected files.

   Full context sensitive Windows help included.

   Many options to customize the behaviour of the program.


2. Installation
---------------

   To install TreeDiff, just unzip the TreeDiff archive onto your
hard disk, for example in your TOOLS directory, and from Windows,
create an icon (Windows 3.x, NT) or a shortcut (Windows 95)
pointing to TREEDIFF.EXE.  That's all !


3. Author / registration
------------------------

   TreeDiff is a SHAREWARE program.

   You can use it during a test period of 21 days, to check that the program
meets your need. If you continue to use it after this period, you must
register.

   There are two different versions of TreeDiff, that you can choose,
depending on what you need :

   a. TreeDiff, regular version for single computer.

      The price for this version is $40.
      With this version, you can compare an unlimited number of
      files, but filters, file operations and saved batch files are not
      completely available. You can use those features only if you
      didn't reach a given amount of files.
      This allows you to evaluate the possibilities of the PRO version.

   b. TreeDiff, PRO version for single computer.

      The price for this version is $60.
      With this version, you have all the functionality of the
      regular version, plus unlimited Filters, file operations and Saved
      batch files fonctionality enabled.

There are also special degressive prices for multi-computer registrations,
and site licence for company wide use. See REGISTER.TXT for details,
or search the help for the topic 'Registration'.
