Comparing two versions of a RunRev app

Given the well-known limitation of RR in that stack names are not
fully scoped but have to be unique within the whole IDE, how would I
set about comparing two versions of an app containing a mainstack and
several substacks? My main idea would be to compare versions of
scripts, but I'd also like to do a visual comparison of cards etc. To
clarify the idea, suppose I have a stack and substacks like
MyMainStack
MySubstack1
MySubstack2
...
MySubstackn
and I have two .rev files, each with a different version of the app,
say the latest, which has shown itself to be a bit flaky, and an
older one, which was stable but lacked certain functionality. I want
to look at the differences between the two, and maybe transfer some
code or controls from one to the other. To effect ANY comparison, I
want to have two versions of each stack and substack in the machine
at the same time, but this isn't possible.
Has anyone any suggestions about how to do the comparisons?
TIA
