We have occasion to make the same changes to source members of the same

My mind immediately went to diff, but the diff that I have on my 7.3 box
doesn't understand EBCDIC. As an aside, I don't know where that diff
came from; I'm sure I put it in PASE but when and where from...?

After discarding diff out of hand, I started thinking about Git but I
don't know enough about Git to be able to force changes from X onto file
Y. Not yet, anyway.

The way I use Git is on IBM i Projects. The idea being that the PC
directory that holds the project files is just another Git repo. But I
can put a Git repo over ../RemoteSystemsTempFiles if I wanted to... hey!
Maybe I can use Winmerge there too!

The issue with that is that the source sequence and date are in there,
so Winmerge finds a lot of deltas that... aren't. :-(

I think that if I were faced with this problem I'd make some IBM i
Projects and use WinMerge and Push Changed back to the appropriate
libraries.
