Subject: [Q] Byte for Byte file comparison

I am wondering if there is a utility that will compare any two files or
any two folders of files to verify whether they are identical in content
and directory structure inside of the folders. I would want to utility to
read and compare the files as raw bytes regardless of the actual file
format, both data and resource forks, and indicate which pairs of files
are different.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Subject: [Q] Hex editor wanted

I am looking for a utility that will display files as HEX/ASCII and allow
changing of any byte in any file by entering ASCII or HEX data.

Thanks for any leads.

Subject: [Q] MP3 Cataloger wanted

I know someone who is looking for a good utility to scan their computer
for MP3 files and make a catalog, including filename, bit rate, channels,
ID3 tag info, etc that could be exported as a text file for use with a
database. It does not matter whether the utility includes other
functions such as playback or not, and it can be freeware/shareware/or
commercial.

MPRage 3.1 comes close, but does not list bit rates and channels for files
when there is no ID3 tag info.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: [Q] Text File Conversion

I am wondering if there is a utility that will change between Mac/Unix/DOS
text formats by drag and drop and that will preserve the date on the file
instead of changing it?
