Compare, version 2.5
--------------------
The following improvements have been made to Compare, since the release of version 2.0:

1. You may view, edit, sort, and filter any file you open, as well as add and delete records.

2. Fixed "SQL" error that prevented deletion of ALL duplicate records from databases when using TEXT fields comparison.

3. Fixed "Type Mismatch" error that occured when text was entered to compare to, and "delete data in column B" was the required processing.

4. Exterminated! a bug (we fix dogs and cats) that caused a "No current record" error, which occured when the very last record was to be deleted.

5. Improved the coordinated (show/hide, enabled/disabled) functioning of the main form's components.

6. Data may now be transferred from as many as three (3) files into Compare's Export TABLE (Data-meld: Compare's version of the Vulcan mind-meld).  You will then be able to VIEW/Edit the table, save it as a name of your choice, and re-open it for editing or delete it at a later time.
