Can someone recommend a C Source code compare program (i.e.: show the changes
between two C source files).

Freeware or Shareware preferred.

BTW: For file/folder compares on Windows platforms I can highly recommend
"Beyond Compare" from http://www.scootersoftware.com/ 

Cheers,

I use the simple text compare in UltraEdit ... they also have a separate
compare utility ... neither free but good.  (www.ultraedit.com)

Or considering your request originated from Microsoft Outlook,  
WinMerge would be the least likely to force you to alter your ways,
http://www.winmerge.org/

WinMerge integrates smoothly into TortoiseCVS, and I presume  
TortoiseSVN altho I see there is now a TortoiseMerge being promoted  
by TortioseSVN.
