Ellié Computing Merge
Merge Up To 3 Files, Images, and Folders
If you've lived with your data for a long time, chances are you've accumulated quite a collection of duplicate files, images, even entire folders. Actually, if they were true duplicates, it would be easy enough to just delete a copy, but life has to be complicated, and so these files, images, and folders are ALMOST the same, but not quite. That's where Ellié Computing Merge steps in and makes your world a much better place!
Ellié Computing Merge makes it easy to compare and merge document files, images, and folders, and does so using an intuitive visual interface. With Ellié Computing Merge, not only can you compare up to three files and folders, you'll enjoy the benefit of super-fast comparisons thanks to the power of multithreading! All differences are highlighted for your easy reference, and it's a cakewalk navigating from one difference to the next. Best of all, Ellié Computing Merge works with both Microsoft Word, OpenOffice Text, and RTF documents.
With the ability to generate reports in a variety of formats, Ellié Computing Merge is as appropriate for large teams of people as it is for individuals! Plus, Ellié Computing Merge can compare and merge files over local networks, FTP, and within source code repositories!-Bits du Jour

Portable installation
Ellié Computing Merge now supports so called "portable installation". In this sentence portable refers to the fact of being 'portable in your pocket', e.g. in a USB drive. Portable installation works on all systems but is actually easy to handle only on Windows, if you want portable installation on other OS please read the full explanation at the bottom of this page.
Ellié Computing Merge supports this through a simple two-step installation:
Install ECMerge the standard way as explained in the other entries
Create a directory called "portable-settings" in the directory that you chose to install ECMerge.
That's all! From that point, Merge will save all the user information (settings, workspaces, sessions...) in that directory.
The normal user licence permits this usage.
