FileMerge is a graphical file comparison application included with the Mac OS X Developer Tools. A descendant of NEXTSTEP's Merge utility, it is used to compare and merge different versions of a file. This program offers automatic file merging, but it is most useful as a simple but powerful manual merge tool for text based files. FileMerge expects Unix style newlines and the Mac OS Roman text encoding.

FileMerge can be found in the /Developer/Applications/Utilities directory when the Developer Tools have been installed from the Mac OS X Tiger installation discs, or from the Apple Developer Connection website.
