UltraEdit, UltraCompare, UEStudio forums

Mofi - ok, I sent the above (more or less :) ) to IDM support. Let's hope they read it. Your analysis is great. It may mean that there is no real problem to show byte by byte differences. Your suggestion of showing only differences would need some good indicators (red lines or something) where "all ...

Mofi, that was a very thoughtful and well researched reply thankyou - your analysis of the overflow was impressive to say the least. I think that you are assuming that, even if they change from 32 bit to 64 bit variables, the application will still not be able to display all the files without runnin...

I took the plunge and bought the latest version of Ultracompare (8.00.0.1010). There is an improvement! Ultracompare 8 now tells me: First file name: I:\Ray\Downloads\linux\openSUSE-11.3-DVD-i586.iso Second file name: I:\Ray\Downloads\General\openSUSE-11.3-DVD-i586.iso 350274 : 350274 Byte(s) diff 5...

Thanks very much Mofi, it sounds like it will be worthwhile downloading. BUT if I do that and it still fails and I decide not to buy it, will I still have my old ultracompare (which remains useful for small text file comparisons) or will that get wiped out when I install the trial version?

Mofi, thank you for your response. I am sorry that I failed to mention that the Ultracompare I am using is purchased and not lite. It is licenced to me. I was aware of the lite limitations. I did not know about the Windows compare tools. However I am much more familiar with the Bash command window u...

It appears that Ultracompare 6.00.1.1059 fails to detect differences in large binary files. Is this a known problem? See below for details. I have two .iso images of SuSe linux downloaded 3 months apart using 2 different versions of Internet Download Manager (a different IDM ;-)). In "properties" th...
