Your file has NULL characters in it. EDPro considers files with NULLs binary.

Can you please send us this file? I have sent you a private message containing the e-mail address to which to send this file.

Well, I suspect that your file is indeed binary (can you open it in Notepad?). If so, you can treat it as text (Options | Compare) but the result may be not be very useful. Or compare files as binary files.

This feature ("Ability to add manual synchronization points to text file comparison") is likely to be added to 3.5.

We call this feature " Ability to add manual synchronization points to text file comparison" on the wish list, and it's likely to be added to the next version.

The new PrestoSoftweb site offers a much cleaner, more user-friendly design.

While there no saving of comparison results that ExamDiff Pro can open, you can save them in an HTML report that can be viewed by any major browser.

I have no idea . These forums are actually for the users of PrestoSoft products.

What program were you using when you got the error? Was it one of our products?

There's no special command for this. Just check out a file, then log in with a different user name, and try to check out the same file. You'll see the message that will give you the options regarding the second check-out (you need to enable multiple check-outs under Project Options | Options).

It's actually more simple than you think. FtpVC is mostly a peer-to-peer system, so when a checked-out file is requested to be checked out by another user, this other user can "take over" the file by getting an exclusive check-out of the original file. Of course, all changes made by the fi...

Not via the FtpVC UI. However, you can easily clean up unneeded versions by going to your FtpVC subdirectory (.ftpvc by default) and deleting old versions (by default, files that end with ;1, ;2, ;3 etc.)

No problem.

The bugs you mentioned have been fixed in 3.3 and 3.4.

No, there's no such option. But it can be done with the help of plug-ins and synchronized word wrap. First, you need a plug-in (a console application capable of processing files) that would strip line feeds and carriage returns from your files. For example, you could use a Perl script, such as: Save...

Having ignored lines highlighted in diff blocks tends to annoy more than help (this is based on the comments from our users). You can try using the setting and see what I mean. Generally, once you learn that lines you set to be ignored are indeed ignored, you don't want to use this setting anymore.
