vimdiff ;  You can do :help diff in any session for documentation.

Someone else suggested tkdiff, I've used this before and it is good, but
is does require a GUI and Tk.

If your a vim'r (and who shouldn't be?) vimdiff is second nature.  I'm
sure emacs has a similiar feature, and thats as diplomatic as I can be
on the subject :^)
