The Tools, Difference menu and the File, Difference menu are both launch the Difference dialog and that dialog is just a wrapper to the xDiff.exe tool found in the Zeus bin folder.

The xDiff.exe tool is pretty much a standard fiff tool.

In the Options, Editor Options menu, Miscellaneous panel there is a command line option for an external difference tool.

Here are some examples of such a command line:

Code: Select all

"c:\Program Files\WinMerge\WinMergeU.exe" $f1 $f2
"c:\Program Files\DiffMerge\DiffMerge.exe" $f1 $f2
"c:\Program Files\Perforce\P4WinMrg.exe" $f1 $f2 $f1

To access that command line either make it the default action using the Miscellaneous panel, or use the View External button found in the Difference dialog.
