so no mail until now :-)

Doug,
Yes, side-by-side compare is on our list of requirements.

a better option. Meanwhile, take me back to SEU for a real tool, not a

toy.

Ducking from Violaine's arrows!! I guess I'm being curmudgeonly cuz
I'm snowed in and working from home.

Hello group,



Just wanted to chime in on a piece of CODE that has not been addressed
yet that I use on a semi-regular basis - the Compare function.



Being in a large development shop, we have many programmers that can

be

working on the same program at the same time for different
issues/enhancements.  We eventually integrate all the changes into a
single version of the program.  The Compare option in CODE is

invaluable

for comparing/integrating the different versions; nothing else that

I've

tried comes close to this (including what is currently in WDSC).



At one point I or someone posted a question about this, and someone

from

IBM (Violaine I think) said they were working on this.  That's the

last

I heard of this.  Hopefully this enhancement to WDSC has not got lost.
