You have downloaded a new set of mouse drivers, but you’re not sure if the new driver contains the same files as a previous version. What Windows command-line program can compare the contents of two files?
A) filecompare.exe
B) diskcompare.exe
C) compfile.exe
D) fc.exe
The answer: D) fc.exe
The FC program is very useful, and it has a number of command line options that can make comparisons based on binary format, case of letters, and other options.
The incorrect answers:
A) filecompare.exe
B) diskcompare.exe
C) compfile.exe
None of these programs actually exist. Sorry about that.
