Quoting Fred Weiner: "Different files" means that there weren't enough points of similarity between the files or DF blocks to compile a meaningful list of differences. To some extent this is driven by quirks in funcs FD (FindDifference) and FM (FindMatch), which aren't amenable to tweaking. Try DeFining larger or smaller sections of the two files.The prompt line offered DIFFERENT FILES. Nothing I could see of a comparison, no third window opened. So, the frame did something but didn't let me know the result.-- Carl Distefano cld@xxxxxxxx
