If it must be done in FoxPro, you could try the FILETOSTR() function to read the files into variables and then compare the contents of the variables. Of course this won't tell you WHAT is different only that something is different.

If you need to find the differences, load the code into temporary tables(or arrays) and compare the records(elements) one-to-one.

If it doesn't need to be done in FoxPro, in addition to what others have suggested, check out WinDiff that comes with Visual Studio, if you have it.

UltraEdit has a file compare and a multitude of other handy things. It has quickly become my editor of choice for many things. It's inexpensive($35) for what it does and the help is great.
