Aveek,

Compare has only 2 options for output, but both will show both the input
files' data lines when differences are found. So I'd suggest you
post-process the output file with Qedit...

What exactly do you want to see in the output file? The line from a) partin,
or b) partout. Or just the line number?

BTW, to print a Compare manual, RUN PRINTDOC.PUB.ROBELLE, and select the
menu choices for "Bonus Prosucts" and "Compare".....
