How can I compare two micro830 projects?

I need to compare two Rockwell Micro830 projects developed using CCW. How can I do this?

How large? you may just need to do it manually, I have not found it in the free version of CCW

have you tried a text based folder comparison program like Winmerge?

I am not sure how many differences it picks up, but I just tried adding an XIC instruction to a rung, and changed a AI from 0-10V to 4-20mA.

I compared the before and after folders with winmerge.

The folder showed that the ROUTINE_NAME.stf changed, and highlighted the line that was changed.

It looked like:

I was not able to discern the IO configuration change.

As said above if you are strictly looking to see if they match you could export the programs and bring them into a text editor (I use Notepad++) and compare. It will be hard to see the differences, but it will tell you if they are the same or not.

I need to compare the files so I can mark the differences and include them for reference in our ECR/ECO system. I also like to go over any changes I make prior to release so I can make sure that everything makes sense and is well documented. Habits I formed when I used to do embedded programming.

I will try the folder/text file(s) comparison and see how that works. It should be sufficient

I have the developers version of CCW. I would expect there would be a compare feature, but if there is, I must have missed it.
