That's a decent change-tracking system, if you want to maintain a
complete history of all changes to your code.
But it's a bit of overkill if you're really just looking for a tool
to compare between two versions of a file. As Alex said, the Unix-
style "diff" command would be a lighter-weight solution. (But only
if you can handle the Unix-style command-line interfaces. The tool
at http://www.nisnevich.com looks pretty snazzy too.)
You can get a copy of "diff" and a bunch of other goodies at
http://unxutils.sourceforge.net. I've used a similar package on an
older W95 system. I haven't used this Sourceforge package (yet :-),
but it's probably very solid.
The Sourceforge package seems pretty light on documentation, but you
can also find the GNU documentation for diff at
http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/diffutils.html
Somebody was asking where TS keeps the source files. As far as I can
tell, for TS4 at least, it doesn't. TS apparently stores the code in
an encoded/encrypted form. I think the only way to get at it is
within the Power Editor. You'd have to cut/paste between the Power
Editor and whatever diff tool you use.
