>>>>>Working on some legacy stuff and have just finished reworking a PRG and see that there is another one that is very similar. Is there a clean way of comparing them to note the differences? I used Word, but it found every difference including where text positions were changed and Hex Workshop doesn't have enough flexibility in how the text is displayed or allowing a "result" document to be created. I want to generate a file that includes all the difference and then edit it. Thanks!

>>>Very cool! In your experience what have you found the best way is to work with result file? I used the File Differences Report with the Over/Under option, but I still need to remove the left column that contains the Left/Right information. How do you clean it up after editing?

>>>UPDATE: Or do you simply use the result file as a guide when editing the original PRG?

>>I don't usually create a separate result file. I just look at the differences on the screen to decide what needs to be changed. It really depends on the circumstances as to why I'm comparing the two files.
