zsCompare, the award winning file comparison utility from Zizasoft, allows you to manually or automatically compare and synchronize files, folders, zip files, and jar files between local directories or networked computers.
You can also compare the contents of text files line by line, and then merge the files to include only the changes you want. Also, you can compare text that has been input either by typing it in, or by copying from non-text files such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PDF files. Finally, zsCompare includes the functionality found in zsDuplicateHunter which allows you to find and remove duplicate files from your computer.
Here are some key features of "zsCompare":
Compare and synchronize two folders.
Compare and synchronize zip files as if they were part of the regular file system.
Fine tune the comparison being performed by setting the options used during comparison.

Synchronization is safe with the ability to prompt before overwritting newer files and before files are permanently deleted.
Optionally ignore hidden files and system files.

What's New:
Added the ability to filter files by the date they were last modified when performing directory comparisons. This functionality is available only in the Standard and Professional Editions of zsCompare.
Added the ability to change how much memory is allocated to zsCompare from within the program.
Fixed the memory monitor so the graph scales correctly when the available memory is increased or decreased.
Fixed so the list of files which will be deleted and the list of files which could not be deleted can be resized.
Fixed so the list of files which will be deleted and the list of files can be saved to a file or copied to the clipboard.
Fixed problem which could cause the program to stop responding after trying to copy files which could not be copied.
Fixed problem where results were not always generated from the command line when specifying the files or folders to be compared from the command line using the /left, /right, /leftFile, or /rightFile options rather than using a session.
Fixed error which occurred very infrequently dragging items from the directory comparison results.
Fixed problems which could cause zsCompare to stop responding especially when using the scripting functionality.
