It works even from the main window in WinCVS 1.1b12, but the diff utility
is not in my configuration a tcl progam, it is instead a win32 executable.
To do the diff, I select with the mouse one version and then click
on the diff icon. A panel pops up asking for the oter version
to be used in the diff operation. A checkbox is then available to select
the external diff utility instead of the built in command line diff.
In the preference panel I simply put the path and name of the
diff utility.
Hope it helps

Oggetto: Re: WinCVS external diff
I've only seen it work when you select two revisions from the graph
which sounds kinda strange but it seems to be ignored from the main
source window.
