Hello, :)

Is it possible to run a files comparison from MS-DOS with command lines :?: in order to obtain same results as Unix command "diff"

Thx

AFAIK not with Textpad.

But search for "unix tools dos" or something similar - you should be able to find a diff for dos...

I am not familiar with the format of Unix "diff" but there is a Windows DOS command FC for comparing files. It is in Windows\command folder on WIN95/98 systems.

Enter FC /? for syntax.

Also don't forget TextPad also has Compare Files under Tools.
