I used sdiff recently for something, and this article sums up quite a few excellent alternatives to good ol' diff on unix/linux:

I like that there a versions of it for Windows as well.
Now if only I could get this to run under OS X and Fink Commander....

Were you referring to getting emacs running on OS X? If so, there is an Aqua version of Emacs available from Apple's download site.
If you were referring to something else, please disregard

Very cool, thanks Gator.
I have used xxdiff on Linux and Unix but lately have been using Visual Slickedit's diff utility. It works "OK." The interface could be better, supported options are too far and between but I guess in the lack of other graphical tools it rocks. Did I mention its several hundred dollars per user for the license?
I know maybe wrong forum but for Windows Araxis Merge tops everything else that I have ever used. I haven't lately (2/3 years) looked into WinMerge and other open source tools but I can imagine they must have also come a long way by now.
