ESCONDIDO, CA, December 9, 2002
Guiffy Software, the leading cross-platform Compare/Merge software provider, today announced that its Guiffy 4.7 for MacOS X received the Tucows Inc., highest "5-Cow Rating"
for excellence. This 3rd "5-Cow Rating" awarded to Guiffy builds on the previous "5-Cow Ratings" awarded to Guiffy Software for its Guiffy 4.7 for Windows and its Guiffy 4.6 for Linux. Guiffy Software's advanced visual source file/folder & tree Compare/Merge utility dramatically reduces the time, effort, frustration, and risks involved when concurrent changes need to be merged/updated.
In researching its company records, Tucows, a leading provider of Internet services on a global basis, announced that this was the first time in its company history that any software product has been reviewed and received its highest prestigious rating the "5-Cow rating" from Tucow's editors for all three (Windows, Linux, and Mac OS) platforms.
"Our customers have often commented to us on how easy our Guiffy cross-platform Compare/Merge utility is to install and use, how powerful and advanced our "SureMerge" is compared to others, and how responsive we are to their input, and this 3rd award from Tucows clearly supports those customer comments" said Bill Ritcher, CEO and President of Guiffy Software., "We are extremely pleased with the results of the Tucows reviews and the praise received from both new and our existing customers for the Guiffy 4.7 Release which included many customer requested enhancements."
"It was very exciting seeing a developer use Java to develop a cross-platform
application so effectively," said Scott Swedorski, Editor-in-Chief and founder of Tucows., "To our knowledge, Guiffy is the first
multi-platform application to receive 5 Cows for all versions."
The Guiffy Software Compare/Merge utility is available for all Java capable platforms. And, with its un-matched smart "SureMerge" technology, Guiffy makes the task of merging and upgrading as easy and safe as possible. For example, one of Guiffy Software's customers reported "it will save me hours (if not days) of pain the next time I have to merge my own (application) repository with the latest (community source)."
"We were excited after receiving our 2nd Tucows "5-Cow Rating", but being awarded the 3rd for the Mac OS platform was extremely rewarding and shows the dedication of our entire staff at Guiffy Software to deliver a widely accepted product," said Eric Geis, Director. "We at Guiffy are clearly the driving force and innovators in the area of compare/merge technology and its cross-platform deployment."
