I sent a request a while back asking:

 >  Does anyone have a lisp function for diff'ing two buffers side by side,
 >  similar to what sdiff does but in emacs?

I received a dozen responses.  To summarize, most everyone referred me
to the emerge package:

	;; LCD Archive Entry:
	;; emerge|Dale R. Worley|drw@math.mit.edu
	;; |File merge
	;; |92-11-20|version 5 beta|~/packages/emerge.el.Z

One person referred me to diff.el (part of emacs 19) and another to
compare-w.el (part of standard distribution).  I found that emerge is
very close to what I had in mind.

I like to thank all who responded, especially bergquis@gdc.com (Brett
Bergquist) who mailed me emerge.el.  

Thanks,
