    Google[^] provides several suggestions. Inkscape[^] looks like a good place to start. "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

    Haha! I have to read at-least 3 threads to recall what we were talking about. :) Mercurial is a great alternative. I have used it for over a year. Even I have spent 4 days trying to setup a customized web interface for it (using hgWeb and crazy amount of HTML / CSS coding). It was kind of waste of time, but It was lot of fun! But the main problem with the Mercurial was the less-popularity among 3rd party tools. Which is why I transferred over to Git, most of the other software integrate perfectly with the Git, but not with the Mercurial. But if you are not going to use it with any other tools than no problem. We are currently using Team Foundation Online, which supports both TFS and Git, and Git is definitely better than TFS. (Also most of the Bug Tracking software integrate just fine with Git) pdohara wrote: I will be happy to shut up and sit down. Nah, stick around, we do this kind of behavior almost every time we go into 'DEBATE MODE'. You will get over it after a while, and then you can do the same thing to others... :) pdohara wrote: This post has come out of my management choosing Git and telling my business unit that we must use it. That sucks! specially when they want you to adopt a completely different product without your vote. But now your management can brag about using it, plus they will look technically competent. I guess you are right, your post was kind of a review. But then you attacked every geek's favorite version control tool so we had to retaliate. :-D Remind Me This - Manage, Collaborate and Execute your Project in the Cloud

    Thanks Pat! Since posting this question I found Winmerge which does what I need (and has very nice explorer integration). But thanks for the Beyond Compare tip as having directory sync integrated too is attractive. My objection to paid-for software is not actually paying, but the restrictions on use imposed by the licensing.

    Yes, that's a good Hex editor/viewer. I added it to the "Send To" context menu in Windows explorer (add a link to the executable in %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo) for ease of use.

    You can try Process Explorer[^]. Everyone uses it. Very small tool and effective. If you want to take memory dump then it can help with that too.

    It's in draft. Besides only recently I have started to practice animation & I thought it'd better if I post that after some output(animation).

    If you had read the text above you would realise that it is obviously not the right place. And if you had posted your question into Google you would have some useful information to get started with. Veni, vidi, abiit domum

    Thanks, I definitively will now. Just need to come to terms on "format" and what "expression" to use. I've come to realize that most people does not get what the board is and what's required to do those things. Naturally, the problem lies in how I describe it which is sub-optimal. I'd be very grateful for any suggestions on how to formalize the "message" or "offering" to make it easier to understand.
