Just to drop a quick word.
Has anyone ever tried the old DOS command FC?
Just open that old Command Prompt and type:

FC PROG1.PRG PROG2.PRG

If you add /n after the FC it will add line numbers to the output. It's free and has been in every MS OS for 20 years.

The way we use it is with the /N and then pipe the output to a file.

FC /N PROG1.PRG PROG2.PRG >JOHN.TXT

You can then bring up john.txt with any editor or print it.
HTH
John.
