You can quickly jump between differences using the "Next" and "Previous" buttons, saving time when dealing with large source code files. WinDiff vs. Modern Alternatives
WinDiff uses a combination of algorithms to compare files and directories. Here's a step-by-step overview of how WinDiff works: winndiff
