Looking for an ActiveX control

Hello VB'ers,

I have spent a frustrating few hours searching for a particular control. I
am going to continue searching, but thought it might be more productive to
put the question to those with more experience than I.

My company is looking for a file comparitor ActiveX control to integrate
into an internal application.

Specs:
Pass it two file names, and it shows differences side by side, with line
numbers
Differences in color (w/ user selected fonts/colors)
Merge ability
Print capability

I found a few of them, and they either did not work as advertised, or were
not a good fit in our app.

Please respond with your favorite control for this situation..

Thanks in advance,

Marc

Did you try searching Planet Source Code (www.pscode.com)

Also, post the components that you have found and rejected - so someone
isn't researching what you already have determined to not fit your needs.
