About the VIM editor, I have tried it, and liked it, infact, thats what got
me started on my pursuit for the so called perfect diff program.  We modify
our Infinium package, and every year they send us a new version, and I have
to re-apply our custom changes into the new version each year...

But my favorite diff program, but its commerical is the araxis product, it
creates a very nice workable printout, that can do 3 compares at a time...

So for me, I compare the old vanilla code, with my custom code of that
version, and then compare it to the new release, and it creates a very nice
report of the differences.
