Cool Tool: Beyond Compare + Addon by Frank Perez

Beyond Compare is a great little utility that can be used to compare files. It's from Scooter Software and is only $30. What makes this utility even cooler is an addon written by Frank Perez (which is $FREE.) He wrote a utility that lets us compare FoxPro files ... like classes, forms, reports, and such. This is awesome ... I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to compare two different reports to see what is different!

Way to go Frank!!!

Read all about this on Frank's blog at http://www.pfsolutions-mi.com/blog/2008/03/08/BeyondCompare.aspx. I have added links in my Cool Tools section to Beyond Compare and to Frank's site for downloading the addon.

Enjoy!

Has anybody updated this add-on so that it uses SCCTEXT from VFP? I find that it does not compare VCXs well because the rows in the VCX may be out of order.

If not, it doesn't look to hard to implement

Cheers,
