The U*ix utility "diff3" can compare (and merge) three files. I've never
used it myself, I just know of its existence. 

If you're using some flavor of Windows, there are free Windows ports of
it and other U*ix utilites available.

and other places.

Are you among the first users of aromanet, mate?

He is that. Education is the key.

I'm doing my own little bit to educate him out of that, but thus far in 
vain.

He quit doing that a couple of weeks back, mate.
