FCPro Overview

With its high-performance comparing engine, FCPro is the fastest binary file comparison tool available. Results from actual tests show, it is up to 5 times faster than current file comparison tools.

FCPro does not use the Windows file system cache. Instead, it compares data read directly from disk, so it can identify potential file problems caused by defective disks.

By optimizing file reads, FCPro dramatically reduces time spent finding data on the disk. This means the counts of the mechanical movements of your disk drive can be greatly reduced, so its wearing can be greatly reduced.

FCPro can prompt you to confirm each error and provide detailed relevant information. Once an FCPro prompt appears, you can suppress it, display only error information or terminate FCPro, by pressing a single key. You can also realize the same function by a command-line switch - the only difference is an exit code corresponding to the error will return when FCPro terminates. You can create a batch program to perform FCPro operations and use the batch if command to process the exit code.

With FCPro, you can select files to be compared by multiple methods: You can use wildcards in either or both of the file name parameters, you can select based on file attributes, range in size or date and time, or whether they have been compared before.

FCPro provides you with a user-friendly command-line interface. For example, switches can be placed at any order in any position, the file name parameters can be file or directory names, the second file name parameter can be omitted, which means it’s the current directory, etc. FCPro performs strict syntax check to ensure commands you enter are valid. Furthermore, FCPro can provide information in a simple and smart way, so you can understand the comparison results at a glance.
