Guiffy (pronounced like Goofy, for those of you wondering) is a visual source file
compare/merge (dIFF-like) tool.
Guiffy is implemented
entirely in Java with the latest Swing GUI components.
Since Guiffy is a Java application, its available for
all Java enabled platforms(Including:Windows, MacOS, Unix, Linux, and OS/2).
Guiffy can be used to compare/merge text files of any sort and has
virtually no file size limits. Guiffy also compares folders and file trees.
