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 cod-
       ing. Users can also compare two or three  directories  at  a  time  and
       launch  file  comparisons. In addition, users can browse working copies
       of the code from popular version control systems including CVS, Subver-
       sion, Bazaar-ng and Mercurial.

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