Well, maybe I'll give Cygwin a go again. I tried it 2-3 years ago and it was troublesome. I'd really like to have Unix/Linux available, so maybe. I really don't use Linux any longer, but it does have some very good features like diff than can be helpful even in a Win env. What's the trick win comp? The window disappears quickly.

Cygwin provides a fill Unix like environment on Windows and if you know Unix at all is a must-have addon  IMHO! :-) But iof you don;t you can use the standard XP comp commandline tool, Try HELP COMP at the OS prompt... For version control most toos have Windows versions: RCS, CVS, SVN etc Some are even file compatible with their *nix versions. Is there some way I might be able to simply identity my code from the original?  That depends, but COMP may be sufficient. Othewise there are various GUI based diff tools that you can download, both freeware and shareware.
