Re: [WDSCI-L] WSDc Source Compare

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recommend getting TextPad (www.textpad.com) - it's a fantastic shareware 
text editor. You can open your members (through NetServer and mapping to 
the iSeries), then compare them. You get a very nice listing.

Don't try to save back through NetServer, however - you can lose the 
source. NetServer can bite you badly. But for downloading, no sweat. Or 
bring the members down in WDSC and save them locally, even. Then compare.

Some folks have even made RPG-related add-ins for TextPad!
