Hi,

I'm looking for the source to a program called ediff it's a "diff to
english" translator.  It's a filter that takes the rather cryptic output
of diff and replaces it with output that's easily read by humans. Like,

--- 1 line deleted at line 487 ---->

instead of some strange thing with numbers and greater than or less than
signs.  Anyone know where it can be found?


Also, is there a public domain diff out there?  Or if not public
domain, at least licensed such that I can rip the guts out and use them
in another program.  I'll gladly give credit where credit is due.  I
don't plan on making it a commercial product.

Thanx,
Jeff
