file and directory comparison

[dirtyepic]

can anyone suggest a good file/directory comparison utility? i want to see side by side exactly what changes a program is making to a directory - what files are added or removed, if a file is modified exactly what the modifications are, etc etc. the ability to revert the changed directory to original would be a bonus but isn't required. it has to handle subdirectories as well, about 20 or more levels. also it has to be able to handle files inside zip's and cab's. searching google brings up a lot of junk software, and i don't know what's good or not.

thanks.

All these demands in a single app?! I doubt it!

I suggest: InstallRite or DeepFreeze.

Hope it helps.
