===8<==============Original message text===============
Hi,

I think that this is interesting news for this group.
I found this in the version history of Beyond Compare. It is a directory
and file compare tool.

Version 1.9e Maintenance Release
March 30, 2001 
Improvements 
Widen progress dialog for file operations.  Increase
capacity of report printing.  Add Comparison Info
button to toolbar.  Add /filedisplay command line
switch.  Use "StandardCRC=1" switch in [Directory
Window] to use better CRC formula and output as
hex.  Use "ODIN=1" in [Directory Window] to
improve running under the ODIN Windows emulator
for OS/2.
