you get lucky, and there's not a lot of fuzz from saved games or the crack

BTW, Andy, can you recommend a good diff program?  (Or CiderPress
option...  ;-)


I usually just use the Linux "diff" command.  Some Windows installations
come with "WinDiff", though I don't know what the current state of that is.
(At one point it came with a "resource pack", or with developer tools, but
I thought it made it into the basic install at some point.)

Not to my knowledge.  WinDiff is still shareware.
