Can some one help me how to configure WinMerge as RTC's compare editor?

My friend used BeyondCompare however I am more comfortable with WinMerge.

This thread does mention:

I've always used WinMerge. Beyond Compare is also a good compare tool but it's not free.

You can configure RTC to use another compare tool in Windows > Preferences > Team > Jazz Source Control > External Compare Tool.
There are defaults configurations for both the tools listed above or you can enter a path for you own compare tool.

See more at "Can I use any other diff/merge tool, other than the one provided in RTC?"

https://jazz.net/library/content/articles/rtc/3.0/faq-rtc-visual-studio/images/compare_tool_configuration.png (the picture shows "BeyondCompare", but there should be WinMerge as well in the dropdown list)

We have pre-configured some popularly used compare/merge tools like Beyond Compare, DiffMerge, P4Merge and WinMerge.
