Chuck-
You already have the best comparer tool out there-
Beyond compare can compare 2 files also
  They need to be simple text (it can't compare 2 word documents side by
side)
Simplest way is to drag the new file from explorer into the left side of
the file compare view of beyond compare- 
That will bring up that file ready to compare
Then drag old file into the empty right half
Then you can turn on view all/view with context/view only changes
Click on the "rule" icon and select C code and it will adjust rules
appropriately

I think there is a way to have the file compare come up as the default
instead of directory compare, but I don't like it that way

Dah, my bad, I had some of my settings wrong in Beyond Compare so I wasn't
seeing what I wanted to see.  All is good now, thanks Gary ...

Thanks also for the suggestions from others about other tools.  I'll check them
out.  It's always good to check out other tools for a potential "better
mousetrap".

Thanks again for the help.

Cheers,
