The sibling software merge utilities of the Complite File Comparison
Family consists of SibDeux for OS/2, SibSerf for NT, and CompSib for
DOS.  These utilities are used when you are maintaining two different
but related sets of source code, and you wish to apply improvements
from one set to another.

Saving bounced lines in the 'Sib' demos is now fully functional. This
means the demos on the web site can now be used for real work.

Some scenarios where SibDeux is useful are:

  1.   Vendor Supplied Source - You've purchased software and
       source code from a large vendor, and have made changes
       to the source code.   Now the vendor comes out with
       a new version of their software.  SibDeux lets you apply
       the changes in the new version of the vendor software while
       maintaining your local modifications.

  2.   Cloned Application - You began by cloning, or copying,
       a working application as the basis for a related application.
       Sometime later you wish to apply changes in the original
       application to the clone.

  3.   Back Level Maintenance - You are supporting several different
       revisions of software.  In rev4 you make a series of
       emergency fixes to rev3.  Now you have to apply these fixes
       all the way back to rev 0.  SibDeux lets you view, and merge,
       the changes from rev3 to rev4 as they apply to rev0,
       while suppressing the changes made in rev1, 2, and 3.

Descriptions and demonstration versions are on my web page.
