ECMerge is a merging and comparison utility for heterogeneous environment teams.

Here are some key features of "ECMerge":

· Fast: ECMerge compares the documents in parallel when they are launched from folders views and profits from Hyper-Threaded as well as Double-Core processors.
· Easy to use: ECMerge highlights differences in side-by-side views and text blocks that are conflicting. Full undo/redo is provided. You can save your work at intermediate situations for text files as well as for folders.
· Source code review: Compare source code to older versions and identify what has changed. Java, C#, C++, Visual Basic, Perl, PHP, Delphi, etc. Syntax colouring helps you to merge by avoiding typo errors.
· Merge: Merge your changes and those of your co-workers based on a common ancestor into one copy. One-click to merge a block of text. Editable output. Unlimited undo/redo.
