| details |

comments in the source code. |

click to download. Use WinZip to extract
the directory tree to your C: drive. There are no

Pretty much obsolete. May still be of interest, particularly to those who
like to cannibalise code. |
 |
No long filename support means the utility is older, originally written for
DOS. It still runs in newer operating systems, but it does not directly support
long file names. It is designed to work with 8.3 names. |
 |
no registry means none of the CMP utilities use the Windows
Registry, the second stupidest idea in computing. |
