Is it possible to compare two codes inside Fortran 95 SilverSoft to see the differences?
I had a code. I colleague of mine has made some modifications and sent back to me. Now I want to know which parts are changed.

ExamDiff Pro is a very good tool. Look here:

| If you are using Silverfrost Plato then you will find "Compare" on the "File" menu. Otherwise look up WinDiff on the Internet. |

I had forgot that a basic "compare" was built into Plato. 
There are basically two types of tool:
(1) Tools which show differences between two files. (Difference tools).
(2) Tools which show differences between three files and allow consolidation of differences into a fourth file. (Merge tools).
Some let you compare folder trees as well (very useful). And some let you compare binary files, image files, pdf files, word files etc. With most of them you can edit the different files views and automatically see the differences as you type.
Useful "free" tools that have a home on my computers are:
WinMerge
TortoiseMerge (Part of TortoiseSVN).
p4merge (from Perforce).
ExamDiff (free edition from prestosoft)
meld (on Linux)
Pay for tools I also use in Windows are:
ExamDiff Pro (from prestosoft)
AraxisMerge (from Araxis)
My current favorite is ExamDiff Pro 6.0 which has a syntax coloring for Fortran, three-way merge, and a very nice tool for building html difference reports.
All these tools can all be integrated into Version control software (like the free TortoiseSVN windows shell extension), so you can compare files to earlier versions if you want to do that.
Finally if you just want to do a one-off comparison and can't be bothered to install software, or if you are away from your computer, prestosoft provide a useful online tool (and marketting ploy) based on ExamDiff Pro:
