You need it for when the "pretty good tool" that's in the package doesn't cut it for the task at hand. Like merging 37 different but similar code bases into The One True Codebase. No, that's not a hypothetical example. BC has features that make the developer's life easier in hairy (and not so hairy) cases like that. It's got features that the Eclipse Compare tool just doesn't have. Tastes vary, I prefer BC. Now if they'd work on a Mac port I'd be really happy. -- Howard Fore, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The universe tends toward maximum irony. Don't push it." - Jeff Atwood
