[ILUG] Visual code editors and merge tools

[Donncha O Caoimh]

Visual merge tool? If you mean, pulling up two versions of the same file
and reconciling the differences by highlighting them? Both Emacs and Vim
support this. If you have Vim 6.0 installed, type vimdiff oldfile.txt
newfile.txt and it'll do the job. It should be just as easy in Emacs.
