This is a plain text file comparison utility which displays a pair of files side-by-side in a vertically-split display, so that the differences between them are apparent. There are a number of customisation options, some of which make it especially suitable for comparing program source code written in the Natural Ž language. But it is not limited to this purpose, and will handle any pair of text files, whether source code or data. It will also compare the text portion of binary files such as spreadsheets and word processor documents, which you can import via Paste buttons on the front panel.

» CommitMonitor 1.7+

The CommitMonitor is a small utility that monitors Subversion repositories for new commits. It has a very small memory footprint and resides in the system tray. In case you have multiple repositories under an SVNParentPath with the SVNListParentPath directive activated in Apache, the CommitMonitor can monitor these URLs too. The new commits are shown on the top right of the main dialog, while the commit log message is shown at the bottom right. A doublelick on any revision in the top right view will fetch the diff for that revision as a unified diff so you can further inspect the commit.

You can also save a snapshot and compare against that snapshot later and then copy the differences over to a temporary folder for transfer or archiving. Ideal for transferring work to/from home or working on a local copy of a network shared project.
