Evaluation

My need for a hex comparison program magically disappeared after several months of persistent aggravation.

I was confused by the tests that I made. The number of differences increased at the end of the two files (registry backups made sequentially without significant changes between them. One specific program loaded and unloaded without using any of its functions). I expected a few changes to have occurred but the program reported hundreds of them.

By the way, your competitors wares faired no better. I did not have the time to do cross-product comparisons at a detailed level so my comments in this area are 'off the cuff' so to speak.
