Summary/Abstract: In recent years, both in Poland and abroad, computer analysis methods have been increasingly used in forensic examinations. The article presents the operation and functionality of the computer program called COMPARATOR which is a joint project of the Polish Forensic Association and its Institute of Criminalistics. The COMPARATOR program is used for registration and presentation of images (samples) of handwriting, documents or their fragments as well as various types of forensic traces in 8 windows. The program allows of numerous useful operations in comparative and identification forensic analyses (including drawing, inversions, measurements, images overlay and matching). The application combines the advantages of graphic programs and spreadsheets - the user can directly perform statistical analyzes. It might also be used as a didactic aid for lecturers and speakers of diverse areas of expertise who want to present several images on the screen simultaneously in their lectures
