Windows help file TREEDIFF.HLP for details.


1. Overview
-----------

   TreeDiff is a Visual directory and/or archive comparison
tool for Windows. You can compare any directories, whether they are
located on disk, in ZIP archives, or pre-saved lists.

   The differences between the files are shown in a dual scrolling window,
with colors highlighting different types of differences (inserted files,
deleted files, CRC differences between files, date differences, time
differences).

   You can FILTER out the results, in order to see only the differences
that are important for you. (see below for details)

   You can SAVE the results of comparison, for later use.

   You can take a snapshot of a full directory, to compare to later, so
you don't need the actual files anymore on disk.

   You can include or exclude files from comparison, using regular DOS
wildcards.

   Over 263 millions files can be handled, using a few memory.
(very useful for huge CD-ROMS or network drives !!)

   File operations can be performed on selected files.

   Full context sensitive Windows help included.


2. Installation
---------------

   To install TreeDiff, just unzip the TreeDiff archive on your
hard disk, for example in your TOOLS directory, and from Windows,
create an icon (Windows 3.x, NT) or a shortcut (Windows 95)
pointing to TREEDIFF.EXE.  That's all !


3. Author / registration
------------------------

   TreeDiff is SHAREWARE.

   You can use it during a test period of 21 days. If you continue
to use it after this period, you must register.

   There are two different versions of TreeDiff, that you can choose,
depending on what you need :

   a. TreeDiff, regular version for single user.

      The price for this version is only $40.
      With this version, you can compare an unlimited number of
      files, but filters, file operations and saved batch files are not
      completely available. You can use those features only if you
      didn't reach a given amount of files.
      This allows you to evaluate the possibilities of the PRO version.

   b. TreeDiff, PRO version for single user.

      The price for this version is only $80.
      With this version, you have all the functionality of the
      regular version, plus unlimited Filters, file operations and Saved
