TFC

Tadzio's File Compare

This is an enhancement of the original TFC Version 2.21a, which includes the functionality of 2.23, distributed with ZtreeWin prior to 1.70.

What's new Version 3.8

  • Display Wait message for large files
  • Display actual line number in text file
  • Optimise text file line number display

What's new Version 3.7 (distributed with ZTreeWin v2.1)

  • Compress white space option skips leading whitespace

What's new Version 3.6 (distributed with ZTreeWin v2.0)

  • Support for multiple monitors
  • The Unicode version of TFC converts OEM control-characters to Unicode for display.

What's new Version 3.5

  • Bug fixes - Could not open locked file.

What's new Version 3.4

  • Comparison no longer blocked after finding "similar" files.
  • The Unicode version of TFC can compare files whose paths exceed MAX_PATH.
  • Bug fixes in batch mode.

What's new Version 3.3

  • The Unicode version of TFC can compare files whose paths exceed MAX_PATH, when called from ZtreeWin v2.
  • Persistent mode - TFC state is saved to TFC.ini on exit and restored on startup.
  • Ctrl-Left/Right - Scroll the display left or right 20 characters.
  • Resize workaround for Wine (Unicode version)

What's new Version 3.2 (distributed with ZtreeWin 1.72)

  • Bug fixes.

What's new Version 3.1 (distributed with ZtreeWin 1.71)

  • Check if the files to compare are similar (ignoring end-of-line characters and, depending on options, Case insensitive compare, Compress white space, Suppress empty lines).
  • Alt-F7 toggles the screen to maximum size and back to previous size.

What's new Version 3.0 (distributed with ZtreeWin 1.70)

  • TFC is now Unicode enabled and can compare Unicode files.
    An ANSI version is supplied for Win9x systems

    TFC can compare 8 bit files (i.e. ANSI or OEM), but the result is displayed as Unicode. The most noticable difference is that all ANSI characters can be displayed, not just those which map to OEM.
    The ability to display Unicode (or ANSI) depends on the font. See Selecting a Font for ZTreeWin
    The default Windows raster fonts do not even display ANSI well.
    Lucida Console and Andale Mono are mono-spaced fonts which display most of the 652 WGL4(external link)characters.
  • TFC attempts to find the original Unicode/ANSI name of a file if this has been translated by ZtreeWin:- See OEM, ANSI and Unicode
  • There are a number of minor improvements in display; Tab expansion, Visual feedback of Toggle settings, intelligent hex display.
  • TFC makes better use of screen space, and now has an option to hide the menu.
  • File comparison is improved, the Compress white space option now treats tabs and blanks equal, which considerably improves c or c++ source comparison.
  • Large screen support Alt-F8, Alt-F9, -aYY[,XX]
    These are not necessary if TFC is started by ZTreeWin, as it will automatically inherit ZTreeWin's console size.
