Also note that `diff-mode', which is what VC diffs are `colorized' with, also offers many useful features for manipulating diffs -- navigation, applying/unapplying of hunks, format conversion, direction reversal, and even sane editing of the diff file [it automatically adjusts the line counts for you]. It's quite snazzy... There was some small issue that interfered with it being used for `M-x diff' output, but my vague memory is that it was pretty trivial (my recollection is that I thought the proper solution was to say `fuck it' and use diff-mode anyway). Perhaps Stefan can fill in the details. -Miles -- `Life is a boundless sea of bitterness'
