If you can generate the same changes to a file in both environments, the
command

COMP {file1} {file2}

will show you the exact byte-by-byte differences.

COMP /? at the command prompt provides info on other options.

I'm not sure if Notepad in Win 98 had the Word Wrap option.

However, Notepad in Win XP DOES have that option -- and it's persistent,
once it's turned on.

Open your XP Notepad and click on Format in the Title Bar to see if Word
Wrap is enabled.

The difference that I am looking for is how the Notepad xp 64 bit saves the
file verse the way Notepad Xp 32 bit does. The problem I have run intois: I
had a virse in my computer and the techcian at Norton company converted the
hard drive format from FAT32 to NTSF, and after this The notepad program will
save the file but the circad98 program will not even recoginise the change,
where before this was the way I was editing the files on this same machine,
before the convetion.

notepad 98, but will not even recognize the file change with notepad done in
win xp.

I'd guess it's because Notepad in WinXP will save files in UNICODE
format. I have no clue what Cricad is, but presumable it can't handle
the UNICODE file.

Could it be related to the fact that Windows 98 isn't natively able to read
an NTFS-formatted disk?
