    Perhaps you mean Araxis Merge[^]? ;) (Your link points to your local hard drive.)


    And that's not all. I just discovered this cool concept called "object oriented design". I can't wait to convert my subroutines to class methods! :-D -Ravi Bhavnani on finally installing XP SP2...in December 2005

    But it works on my machine :rolleyes: Thanks for the link, I actually copied the link from the help/info menu and did not notice it was the local version and not the on-line one... ~RaGE();

      I don't see why the tool has to be free, especially since it is for use at the office.

      Because the company doesn't pay for third party tools, and doesn't allow me to install anything that isn't freeware. Cheers, Vikram.

      We had araxis merge at our company too, but I have to say that i really did prefer Winmerge. Much easier to handle. But if you want to invest time & money, it seems like a good solution. For quick & free I'd rather chosse Winmerge. The only thing I know Araxis Merge handles is that you are able to merge 2 files if you have got a common predecessor.

        Can anybody recommend a good difference/comparision tool? My company provides CodeWright 6.5, which has this feature, but unfortunately it sometimes crashes when I'm trying to load the files. :| * The tool *has* to be free. It's for use at office. * Syntax highlighting is not essential, but would be nice. * A small IDE with this feature would be just as good, provided it's free. Yes, I googled, but got bored quickly. And recommendations from CP are much better. :cool: Cheers, Vikram.

          I've already d/led and installed WinMerge. At first glance, it does look good. Definitely better than CodeWright. :cool: Thanks for the recommendation! :) Cheers, Vikram.

                        I doubt if there are too many companies in India without that attitude. :~ Cheers, Vikram.
