    I've written a handy filecompare utility.
    How it works:
        Two files can be displayed next to eachother, the common 
lines will be colored green, and the different ones will be white
also, when you scroll up and down, the program will keep the common 
parts of both file next to each other, in this way you can quickly 
see the differnces between ,for instance, to different versions of a 
piece of code, there are some options included to ignore white space 
and that kind of stuff.
    I will make the sources available, and upload it to a good 
ftpsite as soon as I'm finished width translating all the comments 
from dutch to english. in the mean time the program is available 
from :

    I'd like to hear your reactions, if many people like it, i'll 
optimize the graphical version I'm currently working on(this has 50 
lines on the screen instead of 25, but it's still a bit slow, for I'm 
doing some very inefficient things in the graphical code, such as 
refreshing the whole screen when changeing just one character)
Have fun width it
