Good idea Alex. The scripts are written out to plain text files to do the comparison so the mechanism for checking any type of plain text file is already in place. Unfortunately, I've never used revServer so I'm not familiar with where the .lc and .livecode files are kept. Are they kept in specif

In this case, it was a revServer script (i.e. simple text file), so lcStackDiff wasn't directly applicable, but the display of differences in a script in lcStackDiff looks really helpful; you could maybe consider extending lcStackDiff to cover .lc and .livecode text files as well as scripts wit
