Windiff is external. It's the one that came with Visual Studio 6 IIRC but you can download it for free here: http://www.grigsoft.com/download-windiff.htm > > Works great.

In VSS you can tell it what viewer & diff program to use for different filetypes. e.g. for *.DBF the viewer is vfp9.exe However, VSS is case sensative over the extensions! So for *.dbf it won't work! -- Paul _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
