Re: [PLUG] (Free) Graphical Diff Tools

[Randall A Sindlinger <rsindlin+plug@seas.upenn.edu>]

All of these different diff tools (and no one mentioned vimdiff!) could
make a nice set of lightning-talks.

The subject of diff'ing files came up at PLUG-Central, and a lot of 
people were only familiar with maybe one additional tool besides 'diff',
if any at all.

I could present vimdiff, and I could also present diff itself, which I think
is worth doing with highlighting useful combinations of options to it.
(diff --help is 81 lines!)
