Active File Compare - What Is It
Heart of File Comparison Software. File comparison is the process of comparing two files
on a file system. Comparison files allow evaluation and comparison of PDF, Binary and MS
documents. The results are displayed to the user which in turn can be used to complete
tasks in networks and to automate revision control procedure. File comparison software is
built around diff and cmp programs. The software works by solving the Longest Common
Subsequence (LCS) between two files. Most comparison softwares can be integrated with
an external diff tool.
What Active File Compare Does? Active File compares and synchronizes text files in visual
mode. Active file compare can evaluate two versions of the same file and also corrects
source codes by comparing them. Active File transfer supports syntax highlighting for the
programming languages C, C++, Delphi, Object Pascal, Perl, FORTRAN, FoxPro and
Visual Basic. Active File compare comes handy to manage your source code when several
independent authors make changes. The algorithm system the software follows is designed
to be accurate with small text files and in files with a large of number of changes. The
software has a user friendly interface .Apart from the standard tool and menu bar it contains
two folder panels, two line compare panels, thumbnail panel and a line panel. Active file
compare has its own file manager system with which you can compare two folders, load
files for further work, copy files, folders etc. User's can open files from different folders after
allocating commands in the file menu. User's can control the controls the files to displayed
using the filters.
Unmatched Features. Active File Compare offers its users a plethora of features. Users get
to compare files, get visual display, edit and manage files.
Comparison
- Compares files which exists in GZip, Zip and Tar archive files.
- Compares two folders.
- Creates the difference as a HTML or UnixDiff file.
- View live project statistics.
Display
- Displays compared files side by side.
- Highlights syntax for a wide range of programming softwares like C++, Java, Delphi,
FORTRAN.
- Highlights differences down to the level of characters.

- Supports thumbnail view for graphic representation of differences.
Editing
2. - Helps you synchronize fragments with differences and delete or copy/move un-matching
files.
- Allows you to edit individual lines after comparison.
- Insert the lines from one file to another.
- Has text navigation facility with Find/Go command and allows you to set bookmarks.
- Compare two files with a timestamp of upto 'two second precision'.
File manager
- Has two side by side windows.
- Filter files by their extension.
- Sort files by Timestamp, Name, Date Modified, and Size.
- Copy, Move, Rename files.
- Treats archive files like Zip and Tar as folders.
- Select all files in a folder or file group by using appropriate commands in the too bar.
Other features
- Supports UNICODE text files.
- Supports command line options.
- Supports project setting which allows the user to all project details (file paths and filters) so
that users can continue work on it later.

The Benefits Of USB Adapters
Finding an available port for your computer peripheral could be very difficult, particularly if
you need several ports for your numerous devices. And the difficulty gets more challenging
if what you are looking for are ports with serial, parallel and non-USB connectors, because
modern computers have either reduced or removed the use non-USB ports.
If you cannot find any available non-USB ports, you can still your non-USB devices to use.
3. Simply get yourself a USB adapter. You may ask, is a USB adapter better than the
conventional expansion card? Here are the advantages of employing a USB adapter:
1. Compatibility. Whether you wish to connect the serial, parallel port, or any other non-USB
ports to your computer using the USB adapter, you won't have any problem getting them to
work properly. The USB adapter allows your devices to work if connected to a USB port.
2. Price. Buying an expansion card is more costly than buying a USB cable.
3. Universality. In the past, there were certain ports that were compatible with only specific
devices like printers and modems, particularly for printer ports. USB Adapter accommodates
all (depending on the sort of USB adapter) non-USB connectors of any computer
peripherals. This short list would include joysticks, keyboards, modems, and mouse with 9-
or 25-pin serial connectors.
4. Availability. USB adapters are more plentiful than expansion cards and, in turn, are easier
to locate. A local computer store or online store could be a rich resource.
5. Practicality. While most of the devices on the market have USB connectors, computers
and other host systems also have USB ports. And because non-USB ports are harder to
find, you can resort to a USB adapter to connect your non-USB devices to your computer.
6. No extra expansion cards required. Normally, when you link devices with a non-USB
connector to your computer you would need additional expansion cards for each of these. If
you would add a joystick and a modem or any peripheral with non-USB connectors, you
would have to add an equal number of expansion cards for each use. With a USB adapter,
all you require is a USB port to link any non-USB device to your computer.
7. Multipliable. Because a single USB port can accommodate up to 127 devices (including
hubs), you can attach several non-USB devices without the need of expansion cards. This
means that if you have numerous non-USB devices, all you need to do is to provide each
with USB adapter and a hub to connect them to the source.
8. Simple installation. If you prefer to use an expansion card for your single device, you
have to open up the computer casing in order for the expansion card to be installed on your
motherboard. But that is not the end of it. You still have to turn on your computer to reboot it
before the card will start working. With a USB adapter, all you have to do is to attach the
connector of your non-USB device to the adapter, insert the adapter into the USB port of
your computer and in no time, your device is working--even while your computer is turned
on.
With all these advantages, would you still prefer using expansion cards for your non-USB
devices? Definitely not! The availability of USB adapters has made connecting devices to
your computer quicker, cheaper, and easier.
