DESCRIPTION
     Meld  is  a graphical diff and merge tool that allows a user
     to visually compare two or three  files  simultaneously  and
     edit  the  files  in place. Differences are updated in real-
     time and highlighted using color coding. Users can also com-
     pare two or three directories at a time and launch file com-
     parisons. In addition, users can browse  working  copies  of
     the code from popular version control systems including CVS,
     Subversion, Bazaar-ng and Mercurial.

     More extensive help information for Meld is included in  the
     graphical interface.
