Active File Compare is an advanced utility for the
comparison and synchronization of any text files in
visual mode, it reports the results of the comparison
in two side-by-side windows on the screen.

This utility is an excellent tool for comparing source
code versions since it allows you to correct the
source code and also supports syntax highlighting for
the programming languages C++, C#, Java, Visual Basic,
Delphi, Object Pascal, SQL, Perl, Assembler, Fortran,
Foxpro etc. and for HTML, PHP, XML, INI and BAT files.
You can also use it to manage the source code when
several independent authors make changes.

The algorithm of comparing is designed in such a way
that it's always very accurate in finding differences
both in small text files and in files with a large
number of changes.

Active File Compare has its own File Manager
consisting of two side by side windows. It allows for
the comparing of two folders' contents, loading files
for further work, copying files and folders etc. You
can control the list of files to be displayed in the
File Manager by using filters.
