Sorry for the double reply. I just remembered yet another compare
function that you can use. If you have a member open in the RS LPEX
editor, click the blue delta/triangle in the toolbar (or 'Edit ->
Compare to file...'). Then, browse to the desired member for
comparison. I just did a quick test and this method seems to ignore the
sequence number and date. IIRC, it is the same as the compare function
from the CoDE editor.
From my perspective, there are two negative aspects of this compare
function. Firstly, it is a PITA to browse to the comparison target
repeatedly. Secondly, it presents the differences in "stacked" format
(ala diff or CMPPFM), but distinguishes adds/deletes by colours instead
of front-of-line characters. Every time I use it I have to think a bit
about which colour means which, but that maybe that is a matter of a
PEBKAC and this won't be a problem for others.
