I would like to know know if anyone has heard of a program that compares two application files on a resource by resource basis and lists the differences. I can do this by hand using ResDecomp or ResEdit, but I thought there might be an automatic way to do it.

I was just going to ask this--I'd very much like a product for comparing the contents of two files, pref. at least by fork, and preferably by mass-comparison, too. I need to compare two whole folders, or complete drives, to make sure I've done the data-recovery correctly. Not to mention that such a tool would be invaluable for removing old systems, inits, cdevs, the 1,771,561 copies of TeachText, etc., from one's system. Especially if it could compare versions and create/mod dates.
