// 1. The paragraph items to compare are stored in a type19 file in U2
// 2. items are opened using Beyond Compare - it normally 'senses' the file type - but you can use the format drop down to force it.

// 4. this script writes the modified version of the process to the target file
// 5. BC then compares these files.
