I have heard that /usr/sbin/gdiff on the SGI is awesome, somebody  
interested in making a "diff" object should check that out. it uses  
multiple different colors to indicate "in 1st doc not in 2nd", "in 2nd,  
not first", and "only in 1st/2nd". It also has a real nice way to move  
things from one file to another. I agree that a neXT object usable by any  
application for "diffing" would be very nice.
