This utlity is used to analize xml outline files. These files are generally produced via the EPMA File Generator or the Essbase MaxL Export Outline utlity. When used with a single file the utility will print out a sorted list of all the members of the outline and what dimension they exist in. When both file parameters are filled the utility will print diff style comparison.
