AthlantDiff compares sourcesSome version control systems do not support visualization of file version comparison. For example, you can not find such tool in CVS. However, most of them enable us to use external difference finders. AthlantDiff is a small, powerful and freeware tool, which is included into Devrace Athlant.

AthlantDiff supports 16 different kinds of text files:

  • Object Pascal (*.pas, *.dpr, *.dpk);
  • SQL (*.sql, *.ddl);
  • Delphi Text Forms (*.dfm);
  • C++ (*.cpp; *.h, *.hpp, *.c, *.bpr);
  • Inno Setup files (*.iss);
  • INI files (*.ini);
  • Assembler files (*.asm);
  • HTML files (*.html, *.hm);
  • XML files (*.xml);
  • Visual Basic Script (*.vbs);
  • Visual Basic (*.vb);
  • Java Script (*.js);
  • Java files (*.java);
  • PHP scripts (*.php);
  • PERL scripts (*.pl, *.pm);
  • IDL files (*.idl)

AthlantDiff compares Delphi Text Forms

Athlant Diff compares Inno Setup files

Easy-to-use:

AthlantDiff is very simple. If you would like to compare two files you should run:

diff.exe file1.ext file2.ext

And that is all! If the files are identical AthlantDiff will display the message: Files are identical. Otherwise you will visually see the differences.

This expert looks very nice and integrates with VSS really well. I have not extensively tested it yet, but it did pass a quick "can I work with it" test. (I use it with Visual SourceSafe 6). And what's also important: when I did find a few problems Devrace was able to fix them nearly the same day. >>
