Set up Synergy Linux client to use non-default merge tool (work tip Synergy merge compare)

To customize merge and compare utilities for Synergy Java client running on Linux:

1. Exit java client.

2. Assuming you use BeyondCompare as a merge and compare tool, and it is installed as /usr/bin/bcompare

 Add into ~/.ccm.user.properties file the following lines:

  unix.tool.merge.ascii=/usr/bin/bcompare %file1 %file2 -mergeoutput\=%outfile

  unix.tool.compare.ascii=/usr/bin/bcompare %file1 %file2

Changes will have an effect when Synergy starts next time.
