Getting started:

To get started... Add the Guiffy.jar, Guiffy3p.jar, GuiffyID.jar, GuiffyBD.jar, and jh.jar files (in Guiffy's install folder) to your CLASSPATH.

Then, Add code such as in the example below to your Java application:

import com.guiffy.inside.*;
...
    prop = new Properties(System.getProperties() );
    String OSName = prop.getProperty( "os.name" );
    if(OSName.startsWith("Mac")) {
      System.setProperty("apple.laf.useScreenMenuBar", "true" );
      System.setProperty("apple.awt.application.name", "guiffy");
      // auto dark mode for JFrame and JDialog window headers
      System.setProperty("apple.awt.application.appearance", "system");
    } else if(OSName.startsWith("Win")) {
      // auto UI Scale
      System.setProperty("sun.java2d.uiScale.enabled","true");
    }

    try {
      if(OSName.startsWith("Mac")) {
        if(DarkMode) {
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatDarkLaf");
        } else {
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
        }
      } else if(OSName.startsWith("Windows")) {
        if(DarkMode) {
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatDarkLaf");
        } else {
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatLightLaf");
        }
      } else if(OSName.startsWith("Linux")) {
        if(DarkMode) {
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatDarkLaf");
        } else {
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel("com.formdev.flatlaf.FlatLightLaf");
        }
      } else if(OSName.startsWith("AIX") ||
                OSName.startsWith("HP-UX") ||
                OSName.startsWith("SunOS") ) {
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel("javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel");
      } else {
          UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
      }
    } catch (Exception exc) {
      System.err.println("Error loading L&F: " + exc );
    }
...
    GuiffyFrame gf = new GuiffyFrame (false);
...
    if ( SecfileName == null ) {
      // Show the Guiffy "Ready" 
      gf.setVisible(true);
      System.err.println("Here I am, after 'Ready'(no files speced)");
      return;
    }
...
    gf.set1stFile( FirfileName );
    gf.set2ndFile( SecfileName );
    // DO A COMPARE 
    try { 
      gf.compareFiles(true);
    }
    catch (Exception e) { System.err.println ( e.toString() ); }
    System.err.println("Here I am, after compareFiles()");
...

That's "IT" - you're all guiffy inside! ;-)
