- Apparently this is not in the FAQ, but I'm sure it has been asked to this group
- before. However, it's come up again at our site recently, so here goes.
-
- Is there any decent way to compare two versions of a Frame file? I know how to use
- change-bars; I know I can save as ASCII text from the two versions and UNIX compare
- them; I know I can (gag!) uuencode the 2 files and UNIX compare them. Same with mif
- (oh, you bolded that word? that's 40 lines changed, dude!).
-
- But the key word is decent. Does anyone have a useful method for comparing 2 FM
- files? Saving as text and comparing seems the closest to something useful; does
- that work for anyone?
