Hi All, It is interesting how most here are in love with their tools. I have notice how statistics and proofs are stated to show what makes THIER tools the best. No, James this is not directly aimed at you, but all the others. I could show you all easily that diff is the wrong tool. It is inefficient been proven since the 60s or was that the 70s. But, who cares. Your example can only be handled by an ABLE PROOFER. Neither your tool nor anybodies elses is better. Come on, peolple! get productive. regards Keith.

Attempting to hand-score the kinds of edits one would need to do on hkdiff.txt, it seems to me like an intelligent editor could present “Choose A” vs. “Choose B” alternatives about 85% of the time, whereas the other 15% of the time a more complicated interface would have to be presented – or else the editor just punts and points to the text and says “You Fix It! (which is basically the approach my current choice of editor takes 100% of the time ;-)
However, if the editor gives a “Choose A” vs. “Choose B” interface sometimes the editor (and/or the user) is going to be deceived because what looks like an A/B choice really ISN’T. For example a hypothetical example:
…. one { must | MUST } be careful!
And the correct answer is neither A nor B but rather C == _must_
