To help support our configuration management, we are looking for a utility
to compare two divergently modified copies of the same original file, and
under interactive user direction, merge common and selected disparate text
sections into a single result file. Does anybody have such a utility that
they would be willing to share?
A utility that worked by interface to the unix "diff" facility would be
acceptable for our purpose; in fact, the desired function should probably
be a lot like diff in its identification of disparate sections. (Of
course, if the described utility already existed under Unix, without Emacs,
I guess that would be okay too.)
I think Symbolics has something like this for their Lisp/Emacs, but I don't
know of anything in the public domain.
Thanks,
Bob
