Several months ago I was looking for a freeware program that would compare
two (.txt) text files and print the difference from these two files too
separate file. A person sent me his internet site and I downloaded the
freeware program and it work like a charm, could this person please let me
know where I can download your program again, I had a computer crash and
lost your program and can't seem to find the copy I made.

Or if anyone else has any idea where to find the compare program could you
send me the information.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you ask them to re-mail you the site if you know who they are?

'diff' is the commandling utility you want. There probably is a
cygwin port of this for Windows somewhere.
