Installing a Difference Viewer

Ridgeline provides a Diff feature that allows you to compare configuration files using a Difference
Viewer. This feature requires that a Difference Viewer be installed on the client system. A Difference
Viewer can automatically compare and highlight the differences between two files. The Diff feature does
not work with a standard text editor.
You can use any Diff viewer that is installed on the system where your Ridgeline client is running.
Select Difference Viewer from the Tools menu to tell Ridgeline the location of the viewer. If you do not
have a Diff viewer already installed, you must install one on your client system in order to use the Diff
feature.

For Windows.

You can obtain a Diff viewer from the following sources:
WinMerge.exe; downloadable from
●
Araxis Merge; 30 day free trial evaluation downloadable from
