Use Compare Suite as external diff software
With the rapid development of the Internet, software and hardware industries showed sharp increase in productivity. Now, it is impossible to imagine any business type without IT support. Computers are everywhere and the Internet seems to be coming to every home on our planet. The result of the Internet revolution is total access for user to billions of files. This, in its turn, contributed much to the development of global business.
But one of the disadvantages of the Internet revolution is increased volumes of information to be analyzed and sorted out. Files can be changed every minute, and PC users need to follow such changes.
Advanced users refer to special automated file compare systems that contrast files and documents to find differences between them. But what makes file compare software really valuable and universal is the possibility to use it in combination with other programs.
AKS-LABS developers took this into account when designing Compare Suite utility. This program does not only compare files, pictures, folders and archives but can be also used with cvs programs (Concurrent Versions System).
Compare Suite can be used as external diff software
Use CS as external diff software
Version control software is widely used mostly by programmers and IT specialists as it helps administer different versions of programs and files. With the help of cvs programs it is possible to analyze amendments in the software source codes and thus review program versions. CVS programs review automatic updates of programs, help in locating and fixing of bugs etc.
Compare Suite has command line support and can be easily used as an external diff in csv programs. These programs are very helpful for It specialists, but their main function is data storage and multi-user access. Compare Suite has one major advantage – side by side comparison in which you can control and modify all changes.
So, what are main advantages of using Compare Suite as an external diff tool?
- Three different comparison methods: char by char, word by word and by keywords. Each method has its advantages and drawbacks depending on compared files and your requirements.
- Commenting feature which makes Compare Suite a helpful communication tool. You can comment any line or word of the compared files and these comments will be displayed both in the program interface and comparison report.
- Syntax Highlighting function. Compare Suite can recognize and mark source codes of programming languages.
- Reporting function. Compare Suite can generate report which will contain full stats on differences and similarities between the files.
Compare Suite as external diff and cvs programs complement one another and make comparison and version control process more effective.
