I am looking for a tool I can use to compare two files, and show me
the differences in a side-by-side view. Ideally, I'd like a view like
SVN does via the httpd interface... i.e. one side has removed code
shown in a red/pink background, the other side shows new code in green...
It would be perfect if I could use it is a command line tool, and then
it would display the results in an X window (based on the DISPLAY env
setting...
Any suggestions?
Thanks very much,
Don

vim, which is the vi implemented by default in Fedora, can do this
using the -d (for diff) switch.
vim -d file1 file2 which will use the current window, curses style
or
gvim -d file1 file2 which will open it's own X based application
window.
