Peter Friberg asks: "Can anyone recommend a diff/merge tool to use with Perforce client on Win95?"

I wish I could. The MKS diff/merge tool is okay, but doesn't provide a way to designate the merge output on the command line.

Most of the 32-bit diff/merge things I've seen (or downloaded eval copies of from the net) run "in the background," that is, when you run the command the shell/cmd.exe returns with a prompt and the diff/merge tool starts up as an asynchronous process. Normally, that's okay - but usually you're running this as part of a "p4 resolve" and you *want* to wait until the diff/mereg is finished before continuing.

Maybe there's a Win/NT and Win95 way of defeating this that I don't know about.
