Text file compare?

[bungpeng]

I need a program to help me compare 2 program source, to determine which lines of source was changed.

Any suggestion?

Visual Source Safe is good.

Ive seen better, but youre likely to already have that one.

As a side note, VSS hasnt changed for at least 5 years... I wonder if an update is in the works?

 

[bungpeng]

Visual Source Safe is too expensive....
Any freeware available? or cheaper shareware?

The one I tend to use is Winmerge, good and free.

never used examdiff but Ive heard good things about it.

 

[samsmithnz]

What do you mean? VSS is free with Visual Studio.

 

[PlausiblyDamp]

The academic and professional versions dont have VSS, only the enterprise developer and enterprise architect versions do.

 

[bungpeng]

thats why, i am not using enterprise version

 

[bungpeng]

TQ, I will try Winmerge!

Oh yeh, sorry I get so used to the Enterprise version here at work, I forget that so many people only have the academic and professional versions.

I might check out WinMerge myself.
