    We've gone through this before I'm sure but what diff/versioning/merge tool is everyone using? WinDiff sucks becuase it has a hardcoded limit on filename sizes (gimme a break!) and WinMerge goes haywire when you throw it more than a few dozen files. cheers, Chris Maunder

            I am using WinMerge. It has its own website, but that is not the latest version (the last time I checked). SourceForge is where it is being developed and you can get a very stable beta version here[^]. NOTE: My Sig does not relate to WinMerge.

                    I've used Araxis Merge[^], but I now use Beyond Compare[^].

                      If you like WinDiff but want to tweak it the source is available with the Platform SDK under : PlatformSDK\Samples\begin\sdkdiff If you like inline diff viewing and diff compatability then http://www.componentsoftware.com/Products/CSDiff/index.htm[^] (btw : the free single user CS RCS is also worth a look) ...cmk Save the whales - collect the whole set
