[sles-beta] graphical diff utility?

[Gregory D. Rosenberg]

Wendy,

Novell did a half day class a number of years ago called something like Become a Systems Administrator Superstar. They had given out some very nice scripts in that class to automate and do side-by-side diff operations. 

I am fairly sure the scripts are open source. If you would like the scripts and doc I can send them out to you or the list.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams.
