Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, someone gave a reference (in the 1993 timeframe) to a graphical diff program they had written. It also (I think) could do merges, but the saliant feature that I remember was that each file had a side-bar, that represented th whole file, with parts that differed being shown on orange, with lines indicating which unchanged (blue) section corresponded with which (blue) section in the side-bar of the other file. Does anyone know what became of this..? it was truely a magic program. you could get the program to do merges as it also had a 3rd window which would take cut'n'paste sections fom the others, or you could click on a diff and have that bit incorporated.. julian
