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.*;
...
    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! ;-)
