The powerful tool that lets users easily track differences both in text and binary files, ExamDiff Pro, reached version 3.5. The differences between files, such as additions, deletions and changes, are marked with different colors, and not just at the level of lines, but also at the level of words or characters. ExamDiff Pro offers full Unicode support, and files can be modified in the program's comparison panes. Users can also copy, rename and delete files or directories they are comparing.

    The program offers an easy way to navigate through differences in compared files and makes it extremely convenient for anyone who needs to highlight differences in files and folders, synchronize files (while being able to add manual synchronization points) and fast and comfortably navigate through changes that were made. The file differences detected with the use of ExamDiff Pro can be stored in a standard UNIX DIFF file or to a dynamic HTML web page, which can then either be shared with other employees or kept for future reference.

    For a normal computer user, the ability to create directory snapshots for later comparison or archiving will be very useful. The reports can be printed and print previewed. Developers will use the built-in binary file comparison feature of ExamDiff Pro that makes it possible to compare executable files (DLLs, EXEs, etc.), as well as Advanced Ignore options that let users focus on the interested source code elements instead of stumbling over programming language comments or other irrelevant elements. Another important feature is word wrapping, which simplifies the way text is handled. The program has integrated support for additionally imported plug-ins, that let the user preprocess files prior to comparison. The plug-ins, for example, allow a developer to compare a local website to an FTP server, or a writer to compare Word, Excel and PDF documents.

The interface is easy to understand and operate for most of the starting users, offering extensive drag and drop support and full customization. The program is integrated with Windows Explorer, and experienced users will surely make use of an extensive command line interface.
