Yes, I'm testing on Windows, and unfortunately Araxis behaves differently here:
- running "compare version" or "compare blah" prints nothing on the
console, but the GUI opens saying it is unable to open a file
"version" (which it would compare to nothing),
- "compare -h" or just "compare" both open up the usage dialog listing
all valid command line options (because "-h" is invalid).
