Code Comparison
Jun 4, 2008 at 5:32pm
Hello,
I was given a source cpp that was modified heavily from another base cpp. Is there a fast way to compare the two versions of code side by side to highlight exactly what changes were made? I am using MS Visual Studio 6.0. Thanks very much in advance for your expertise,

Have a look on your system for a program called windiff.exe
How to Use the Windiff.exe Utility:

On the subject of diff tools, I use Beyond Compare 2 (http://www.scootersoftware.com/) which is an excellent product - it's fairly cheep ($30) and has a number of additional features over Windiff to make it worth the outlay.
