I agree, Booth - I've looked at the CODE compare tool and thought it was world's better than the ones in WDSC - whether the one IBM put out for RSE or the Eclipse one, which is unusable, as it looks at sequence numbers and dates.

The RSE compare was impossible to use for merging, which is a major reason for me to use one of these things. SoftLanding's looks better but I have to work with it more. Oh, and there is absolutely NO documentation I could find on what the pink and yellow mean. That is not intuitive to me at all.

How are merges done in the CODE version?

You should take at least one look at the compare feature in Code.  You
might be a tad surprised.  The differences are huge, especially with the
added tool of the scroll bars to slide up and own the entire length of
the source and the feature of color coding.  (Not to mention, displaying
more than 20 lines at a time.)
