The link don't work! Please adjust it! Massimo Minini, February 18, 2003
The Link Now works - and I have downloaded the file. But the app is very buggy. It had bugs on initial "setup" , and also when trying to compare 2 .VCX files. In the end I gave it up as unusable. (VFP6 with all service patches - running on W2000) Russell Honnor, February 19, 2003
Please note: This program is written for VFP7.0 and will not run in any version of VFP prior to VFP7. If you are experiencing "BUGS" it is because you are trying to run it in an incompatible version. The links are maintained by the Universalthread staff and are not under my control. I want to thank Michael for correcting the link which was previously reported as bad.

My humble apologies Glenn. I should have read the readme file a bit closer. Russell Honnor, February 19, 2003
What started me looking at this was something to "Fix" the problem when diffing .VCX's and .SCX's in Visual Source Safe. VSS/VFP uses the MS supplied SCCTEXT.PRG (in the home dir) - but changing just one line in a Form's method causes many spurious differences when diffing. i.e. it shows things have changed - when they havent. However I did find a "Fixed" version of the SCCTEXT.PRG - at http://mmfudg.lansing.com/tips_etc.htm Also there is an article in FoxPro advisor (Oct 1997 - pages 39-41) which explains the problems and the fix. Hope this helps other with this problem. (NB MS Supplied SCCTEXT.PRG still appears to have this problem in the version shipped with VFP7) Russell Honnor, February 19, 2003
I have started this in VFP 7 and I am impressed - it works flawlessly - and diffs even .PJX files. The CompareIT utility is also a significant improvement over Visual Source Safe's comaprison tool. Thanks for your contribution Glenn. Russell Honnor, February 20, 2003
Great tool - saved me hours - now if only we could parse the resulting source file and write it back to the VCX / SCX etc!!! David Younger, May 22, 2003
It appears that class properties that are not initialized do not appear in the comparison. i.e. if I add two properties to a class and take the default initialization, then compare this version with the version without those two properties, the classes will compare as identical except for the time stamps. The Reserved3 properties need to be merged with the Properties in BuildProperties. June Kendrick, December 30, 2008
I am using VFP 8 with SP1. I tried to create an EXE of the SourceCompare..... a) It wants to use a BROWSER.H which I did not have available at that moment. b) It had a "String to long error" when compiling (it would not show me the code).... c) It crashes in SCCTEXT.H on line 19 #INCLUDE "SCCENU.H" I don't have this file either..... What am I missing or doing wrong? Thaniks! Tommy Tillman, January 30, 2009
Link doesn't seem to work Naomi Nosonovsky, June 21, 2010
