Oh that is perfectly OK, what I am intending this program if for version comparisons. I have used the SCCTEXT program but it is not nearly as clear as a programmatic representation which is the result of the CB. I have developed a form which accepts two filenames, then runs them them thru Christof Lang's little code snippet to either use SCCTEXT or cursortoxml to develop a text representation. After this occurs the form calls CompareIt.exe passing the two textfiles. We often need to resolve diffences and a tool like this makes the process less painful.

>>Has anyone hacked the CB (class browser) to cause it to produce a PRG from either a VCX or SCX? What I am interested in is calling the CB with appropriate parameters to cause it to instanciate, convert the paramaterized SCX/Class/VCX to a parameterized PRG, all this without showing its lovely face. I have be cruising thru the code and I see it is possible to extract and hack to make a standalone program for this purpose, but if someone has already done it why create another wheel?
