<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Peter,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks a lot for your comments. I am working on
this idea now and recognize it will be beneficial to modeling. Let me know if
you have any other suggestions that you would like to share because my
implementation will stick to concepts of GME models.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Have a nice day,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=737363413-08032004><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I'm not aware of such a tool.
When GME dumps a model into xml (File/Export) it sorts all
elements by name. Therefore the dirty way of comparing models with the
diff tool does work most of the time. However, we are interested in a more
exact approach, so let us know if you implement one.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am trying to develop a GME interpreter to
compare two GME models to decide how they are different or equivalent. Does
anyone know any implementation on this idea or any similar
implementation has been done?</FONT></DIV>
