So forbid it after votes have been submitted, but come on, at least for a few minutes there has to be the ability to edit a post, I take great before submitting them and still frequently mistakes slip through. Why do I have to subject every reader of the post to them?

So, the technical reason of the error seems to be that the interface on which FileSystemObject is directly based, IFileSystem3, inherits another interface, IFileSystem, and some (actually all) methods of this latter interface don't have the restricted attribute set. Why this is a problem for VB and if its a restriction of VB or of COM itself, I don't know (but it probably simplifies the implementation). However there is a not-too-inconvenient workaround: using IFileSystem as the type of the parameters...

This feature is critical Agree, especially with a multi-comparison software like this where you can have ten files compared at the same time (and then 20 characters are enough to qualify a line as "long"). Unfortunately I fear this project is not going any farther.
