Quick Way to Check for changes in a file

[MSI]

Most simulation and reconstruction programs have a print option
The following is a quick way to find any changes/differences between files:

Get the program textpad

• Excellent program

Then open ANY two files to compare:

• can be text, or any type of file (binary too!)
• For this example i made a couple changes to a msmac3D input file which is a text file
  Open two files (see the tabs below)
