The best merge facility I've found is GNU Emacs' emerge, but unfortunately if you don't use Emacs as your PC editor, the learning curve is quite steep. Perforce once had some mention on their web site about that they were going to work on a Win32 GUI merge tool, but I don't know any status on it anymore.

I wish there was something like either Emerge or SunSoft's FileMerge (part of CodeManager) that was integrated properly with Perforce.

Are there other diff/merge tools that people particularly like (for Windoze platforms) for use with p4win?

WDiff32. Shareware, get it (at least) at:

There are a whole pile of others.

OK...so maybe I should've been more specific :-)...I kinda figured there would be a bunch of file diff'ing tools. What I was really fishing for was recommendations for people for tools that could be plugged into Perforce use for doing merge resolution stuff. That does seem to be one of the most obtuse parts of the system.
