<TD width="58%" align="left" valign="top"> Use this option to compare contents
for changed files found when comparing CVS resources. Usually, time stamps
are used to compare CVS files, and this is by far the fastest method. However,
in some cases a more accurate comparison can be achieved by comparing file
content. Disabling this option will speed up comparisons but may result
in compare entries whose contents are the same. This option only applies
to comparisons and merges but not Workspace synchronizations.</TD>
