There is also xxdiff: > apt-cache show xxdiff Package: xxdiff Description: a graphical file and directories comparison and merge tool A powerful tool for viewing the differences between two or three files, or two directories, and can be used to produce a merged version. The texts of the two or three files are presented side by side with their differences highlighted with colors for easy identification. Among its features are: * Comparing two files, three files, or two directories (shallow and recursive); * Horizontal diffs highlighting; * Files can be merged interactively and resulting output visualized and saved; * Has features to assist in performing merge reviews/policing; * Can unmerge CVS conflicts in automatically merged file and display them as two files, to help resolve conflicts; * Fully customizable with a resource file; * Look-and-feel similar to Rudy Wortel's/SGI xdiff, it is desktop agnostic (i.e. will work equally well with KDE or Gnome). albert... -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Albert J.
