DARoot 6 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) You will all laugh .... Well, go ahead .... The Utility Program I use most often is "Paint Shop Pro" v. 6.0 or so. Downloaded free, years and years ago. [i'm now on like day 1,678 of my free 30-day trial period, but it still works a treat, and I use it every day, with every sim/wargame/computer program I'm still running]. Some things never go out of style .... DARoot Edited July 12, 2012 by DARoot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+whiteknight06604 934 Posted July 14, 2012 some really great and useful stuff so far. I was hopeing that someone would post a utility that was mentioned in a post prob 5-8 years ago and that I just can't seem to track down. it was a program tat compaired text files and hilighterd the differences. Apples to oranges or something similar was in the title.Anyone remember that one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted July 14, 2012 LOL, that's what the one I posted the link to does, WinMerge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+whiteknight06604 934 Posted July 14, 2012 JM I don't think thats the one I was thinking of but this looks like it should be great so thank you for the heads up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JediMaster 451 Posted July 15, 2012 Oh, I figure it's probably not the same one, because when I got WinMerge a year or so back I was also looking for a totally different program. I only have vague recollections of it, other than I believe the two files had different colored backgrounds as you looked at them. It was nowhere to be seen, though, and I found this one readily enough and it seems to work for the limited stuff I've done so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
