Comparing Files
When you write code for a living, it becomes important to compare files. Sometimes you have to know what changed between versions or even worse, when multiple devs can update the same source and you need to know what the other person changed. For a few years, I've used Beyond Compare from Scooter Software. It's easy to use and does an amazing job of comparing differences and allow you to synch up the two files if needed. I found out this morning that Beyond Compare 3.0 is out. I couldn't imagine how they could make this product better, but the list of changes is amazing.. I'm in the process of downloading and installing the new version.

And if you're coding with FoxPro .. don't forget to download an add-on created by Frank Perez (read his blog here: http://www.pfsolutions-mi.com/blog/2008/03/08/BeyondCompare.aspx)
This add-on makes comparing FoxPro files super easy!!

I'd be interested in your reaction to BC3 once you've worked with it a bit. I've been a vocal fan of BC for a long time, but IMO they've made a complete hash of it in BC3.
Craig,
In general, increased complexity and reduced control over what gets copied. I need to do a blog post on the specifics when I can find time.
