"Differences" Program?

[speedy_mike]

I have some similar files and would like to find out what the differences is
between them. Is there some sort of 'Differences' program/routine I can run
on them to determine the differences?

Thanks much.

Provided that you're talking about text files: Start > Run: CMD > FC /?
Another option is "Windiff.exe" as part of the Support Tools (Win CD) or
downloaded from here: "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Support Tools"

I'm going to try both. But for the microsoft.com/downloads/... version, I
downloaded it and installed it.

Thanks to you both for prompt replies!

Sure.

At the command prompt, type "comp /?" for instructions.

Usually
COMP {file1} {file2}
