   Just to clarify: I was referring to my use of A.M. as 2-way-diff --   
   "simple" side-by-side text comparison. I does that very nicely too. And   
   I *think* I prefer it over command-line-diff, although I'll admit I   
   never had to work with any command-line diff extensively.

   Good C++ code is better than good C code, but   
   bad C++ can be much, much worse than bad C code.
