For simple stuff I use a freeware package called EXAMDIFF (http://www.prestosoft.com/edp_examdiff.asp)
which compares text files and throws the differences onto the screen. The output is similar to the file comparison tool which comes with SourceSafe. It's not fancy but it suits my needs. The utility I use to invoke it is
PARAMETERS lcProg1,lcProg2

IF VARTYPE(lcProg1) <> "C"
     lcProg1 = GETFILE("prg",'',"",0,"Select original version")
ENDIF

IF VARTYPE(lcProg2) <> "C"
     lcProg2 = GETFILE("prg",'',"",0,"Select current version")
ENDIF

oWsh = NEWOBJECT('wscript.shell')

oWsh.Run('"c:\program files\examdiff\examdiff.exe" "'+lcprog1 + '" "' + lcProg2+'"',1,.T.)
