Have you got the baseline code, still? That helps.

Have you got QEdit? That comes with quite a good COMPARE program.

Or there is/was SHOWDIFF, and I think SCompare (Aldon?)

But these just do compares.

I used to use a product called Upgrader that was supposed to not only do
the compares, but also write version C when given A and B.

With or without the Baseline code. Though it was patchy with it, and
patchier still without it....

One thing I've been doing recently, while waiting for Adager to catch up
with Flexibase and provide the promised Transmute facility, is to
compare schemata in WinWord. Works surprisingly well...

I move the two files over to my PC, as ASCII text in Reflection.

The facility is hidden away under Tools/Track Changes/Compare Files -
you read in one of the documents normally, and then use this option to
open the other one, and it marks all the differences, plus and minus.

(I think) - Murphy's Law dictates, of course, that things on the PC I'm
writing this on will be different, and the WinWord on Office 2002 is
better...

Still under Tools, but now there's a direct Alt T,D menu option there
for Compare and Merge Documents...

'and Merge'. Hmmm.... I must try this out.......

I wonder what sort of a fist it would make of creating your desired
'Version C'?
