1. i've been thinking about doing that, but i still have to figure out how, if it's possible it won't be that hard to implement.
2.if you use "1 to 2" and file 2 has components that file 1 doesn't have, those components won't be showed because 1 doesn't know they exists, that's why there are two lists. In your case both of the files had the same components but with different values. But you're right, i could use just one column. Think i'll change that and use the radio control.
3. Definitely need synchronized scrolling, forgot about that.

Highlighting will be included, but that will take some time i think. The same goes for putting blank lines in.
4. That's a good idea, "Space Empires IV\Data\components.txt" is the default setting on most computers, but i have the game installed under a "games" dir, also so for testing purposes it's better for me to keep it blank. I've still got to add a menubar, so load/save options will be included, same goes for making different comparisons (3).
I think i'll still be busy with this for at least 2 weeks. I'm also thinking about adding a popup if you click on a techarea in the comparisons box, the tech will be shown.
about my next file, it'll probably be the techarea file, like i said, that'll take a few weeks.
Thanks for your input.
