Hi Joe,

You may want to look at the date stamp of your prg's and other individual files, and then I saw a few days ago a tool called "database comparer" or something like that in the UT's login page's news items which might be useful to compare class libs and project files, which are basically dbf's with their file extensions changed to vcx, pjx, etc.

Another option might be to do a filetostr() of each of these files and compare them as strings in a prg. Won't give you punctual differences, but it might be a good start.
