    Windows has a command line utility (fc) that compares two files. Type "fc / " at a command prompt, and it will list the options/switches. It's a good solution if it has the features you need, because it's built into Windows, and you won't have to bother installing it everywhere you need it. If you want to use it in a job, you can invoke it with an operating system type step, or use xp_cmdshell if you need to call it after dynamically building the command at run-time. In a job, you would have to pipe the results to another text file, for review.

    I think VSS (source safe) is suitable for that
