Notes

Please, do read the documentation in this file before emailing me! I know it's not much, and only really covers the basics, but...
Pretty much everything in SDCCDiffLaunch works as it seems, so I won't go into too much detail as to how everything works. Besides, who reads manuals anyway? ;) Anything you're not too sure of, just make an educated guess; you'll probably be right!
To use the this software, you must first install Code Co-op and a 3rd party "diff" utility (e.g. Araxis Merge) (duh!).
This software has been tested with Code Co-op v4.1a and the Araxis Merge v6.0. Usage with other versions and other diff packages should present no problems; simply adjust the executable and command line parameters as appropriate.
To use: Run the executable, and follow the instructions shown.
To revert Code Co-op back to normal operation, change registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Reliable Software\Code Co-op\Preferences\Differ\Alternative
back to the path where the "Beyond Compare differ" executable is located
This software has not been tested with Code Co-op's merge functionality.
