Subject: [PATCH] misc.texi, files.texi
Date: Wed, 3 May 2006 11:24:15 +1200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <17495.59935.582619.357092@farnswood.snap.net.nz> (raw)


The recenty added node "Diff Mode" overlaps slightly and lacks cohesion
with the existing node "Comparing Files".  This patch attempts to address
that.

OK to apply?
