Can someone tell me how to do the file compare utility for a text document in dos?

Hi, There is a program called azdiffl.zip that will open two text files and compare them. The file is 4570 bytes. Below is a copy of the readme file. I have not yet reviewed the program but if the readme is what you think will solve the problem email me with the name of the zip in the message body and I will be happy to send a copy to you.

It can be run from Windows using the File manager, but it is still a DOS program. AZDIFF compares two ASCII files. These are files that you can read correctly using the DOS TYPE command. It shows you the differences between the two files. This is useful if, say, you have two fairly similar data files or BAT or program source code files and you want to check how they differ. There are two text files which are very similar but slightly different. You can compare them using AZDIFF. This one is READ.ME and the other is READ.ME2. AZDIFF is a replacement for the major function of the DOS 'FC' command but it is easier to interpret the AZDIFF output. To operate the program, 1. Make a mental note of the filenames of the two files you want to compare. 2. Enter the command AZDIFF to start the program. There are no parameters. 3. At the prompt, enter the name of one of the files to be checked. 4. Then, at the next prompt, enter the name of the second file. 5. Now wait while the differences are established. A temporary file TEMP.$$D is created. It will be deleted at the end of the program. 6. The contents of both files are displayed. Where commonality has been found then the common bits are displayed in one colour just once. Where differences are found a second colour is used. Line numbers on the left and right of the screen clarify to which files the different bits belong. 7. Use the normal up/down/page_up/page_down keys to scan up and down the display. To scroll quickly to the next difference press N (downward search) or P (upward search). Press C to change the colour scheme. Press Q to quit from the program. 8. A summary of the differences will be put in a printable file called DIFF.OUT. This file is saved when you quit the program. This version of AZDIFF is a limited version. It will not handle very large files and will tell you so. It is, however, free of charge for unlimited use. Aztec Research Limited retains all copyright on this version, but you can make copies as long as you don't sell them. If you would like an unlimited version that can handle really big files, then please send US$30 or UKœ20 or equivalent in other currencies to: Aztec Research Ltd PO Box 204 Slough SL2 2PZ United Kingdom Comments to : 100131,1462@compuserve.com Corporate buyers can place a purchase order and will be invoiced. Aztec Research Ltd has checked this program carefully but disclaims liability for damage caused by its use. As with all programs, back up your data files before you do any processing on them!

Oops........lol! Would you believe after all that I forgot to answer your question? To bring up the file compare utility on your computer "fc.exe" go into the dos prompt and type fc /? Then hit enter. This will bring up all the options available. So it's late and I am over tired. Ha! World Library
