       WinFC is a Microsoft Windows 3.1(tm) text file comparison
       utility which graphically represents the differences between
       two text files. You can conveniently navigate through the
       differences between two files using toolbar navigation or 
       by the next/previous menu item found in the difference menu.

       The currently active difference is indicated by the red 
       graphics area between the two files, and all other differences 
       are indicated by the black graphics. 

   New Features in V1.0B:
   ----------------------
	V1.0A fixed the GPF that occurred when closing using the system
        menu or Alt-F4.

	V1.0B adds the ability to ignore blank lines and white spaces 
        when comparing files.  Currently, these options can only be
        selected by editing WINFC.INI (provided in the evaluation package).
        To ignore blank lines when comparing files, edit WINFC.INI and 
        change the line:
	    IgnoreBlankLines=0
        to:
            IgnoreBlankLines=1

        To ignore white space (blanks and tabs) when comparing files, edit
        WINFC.INI and change the line:
	    IgnoreSpaces=0
        to:
            IgnoreSpaces=1

        Also in V1.0B is the ability to turn off the graphics highlighting
        in the center region.  To turn off the graphics, edit WINFC.INI and
        change the line:
            NoGraphics=0
        to:
            NoGraphics=1

        Note that these options will not take effect until the next time
        that WinFC is activated.  A future release of WinFC will provide
        a dialog box to dynamically change these and future options.
