Re: Loadlib compare utility
Hello Mike, File #182 on CBTTape shows you module sizes, linkage date, etc... then you can run the "old" loadlib thru the same process and compare yourself. I'm not aware if it can really compare for you, but you can get a comparison yourself out of it for sure.

Re: Loadlib compare utility
A number of the commercial compare utilities can perform that function. I know for a fact that Compuware's Comparex and Macro4's InSync can do this, and CA FileMaster may have that capability as well, not sure about that one. You can also get CBT file 321, COBANALZ, which will analyze a load library to determine the language and linkage information about load members. You can compare the print output from COBANAL using SUPERC to see if there are different dates and/or members, but not detailed member contents.

Re: Loadlib compare utility
SUPERC (ISRUPC) will do fine. For the compare. It will easily identify any member mis-matches as well as missing members. It won't be very good at telling you what the differences are.
