zsCompare Professional Edition

ZsCompare is a cross platform comparison and synchronization utility from Zizasoft. ZsCompare runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

ZsCompare has been designed to allow you to simply and easily compare and synchronize directories and the files within them, the content of files, and snippets of text which can come from virtually any source.

You can run comparisons on local directories, networked computers, or remove-able media such as CDs, DVDs, and flash drives. With all comparisons, you can customize the settings used to run the comparison to your own needs in order to fine-tune the results to meet your demands.

The Professional Edition contains all of the features in the Standard edition, plus it adds support for comparing the text of Microsoft Word Documents and PDF files.

zsCompare Professional Edition also allows you to patch changed folders in addition to changed files.

The Professional Edition also lets you create and run scripts which allows you to automate the complete functionality of zsCompare.
