<b>Warning</b>:  date() [<a href='function.date'>function.date</a>]: It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

		<description><![CDATA[This program is great at comparing the code, the feature I really need is sadly currently absent.  I have deployed several (at least 20) sheets with the same VBA module.  When I update the code base, I'd love to be able to run a batch file (your command line interface is a good start) to update all the spreadsheets across the network to the latest code base.<br />
<br />
A merge function would be useful as well, when comparing two code bases.]]></description>
