My apology to all since my original message is too vague.

Here is what happening.

My PC runs Windows XP, and I have ISO Recorder Power Toy installed
( from http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm )

It is a very nifty stuff. It uses XP's own utilities to burn ISO
images (ISO files) to CD/DVD.

All I need to do, if I ever want to burn a CD or DVD is to right click
on the ISO image file. The first item on the right-click menu is "Copy
Image to CD" and when I choose that, and choose the CD/DVD burner, the
utility will automatically burn the CD / DVD for me.

Which means, the is no "verify" (or file compare).

In NERO or ImgBurn and many other CD burning programs they have the
"verify" step to make sure that the CD/DVD burned is the same as the
ISO image.

And what I am looking for is a stand alone utility to do just that ---
Read in an ISO-Image file, and then compare it to the (CD/DVD) disc
that is on a CD/DVD drive, directory by directory, file by file, byte
by byte.

Again, please accept my sincerest apology for the vagueness of my
original message !
