Hey all:

I'm wondering if anyone have ever used any open source document 
comparison software. Not the type normally used in software development 
or bundled with versioning control. Instead, I mean something where you 
have 2 documents (let's say .doc) and you run them through the software. 
Then you either get a report of differences, grapical markings in the 
documents, or both.

There's plenty of software out there to purchase, but I wondered if 
anyone had used anything else. If there's a GUI, that's great since I'd 
like many people to use it. I know that <diff> is out there and if 
that's the way to go I'm OK with that. I just wondered if folks had used 
anything else.

Thanks.
