Originally published at Internet.comZsCompare is a comparison and synchronization utility from Zizasoft. ZsCompare runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It is available either on CD or by downloading it from the vendor's Web site.
ZsCompare has been designed to allow you to compare and synchronize directories and the files within them, the content of files, and snippets of text that can come from virtually any source. You can run comparisons on local directories, networked computers, or removeable media such as CDs, DVDs, and flash drives. With all comparisons, you can customize the settings used to run the comparison in order to fine-tune the results to meet your needs.
The Lite Edition contains basic comparison and synchronization functionality. With the Lite Edition, you will be able to compare directories, zip files, jar files, text files, and freeform text.
The Standard Edition contains all of the features in the Lite edition, plus it includes support for creating and comparing snapshots as well as support for changing attributes, timestamps, and file names directly from the results. The Standard Edition also has enhanced text comparison options, and the ability to directly edit the text of a file from the results. With the Standard Edition, you can also view results in binary mode, which allows you to compare non-textual files.
The Professional Edition contains all of the features in the Standard edition, plus it adds support for comparing the text of Microsoft Word Documents and PDF files. The Professional Edition also lets you create and run scripts which allows you to automate the complete functionality of ZsCompare.Author: Company Rep
