I had not heard of it previously. I will certainly add it to my toolbox. It does do 3-way diffs, and will show the current line in it's own little window at the bottom where you can see the exact point in the line that the two files are different. Plus it does let you edit within the file comparison panes as opposed to just letting you apply a patch.A decent file comparison and merge tool.
tkdiff may not be exactly what you're looking for, but it's still pretty darned cool...
Regarding emacs...I once looked at Emacs, and it seemed to speak a different language than I do. I'll have to look at it again. However, since I know that Emacs can do just about anything, I'm sure that I will have to invest a lot of time and effort to get it to do what I want it to, while I try to avoid being confused by things that are not relevant to me. For example, I'm not even dealing with C code, so I don't need any features related to compiling or debugging etc. I just want a good tool that is specifically designed, and pre-configured to do an excellent job of file comparisons and merges. Something that Araxis Merge is. A quick check of Emacs (I gave it the same amount of time that I used to download, install and run tkdiff) confirms that I will have to invest a lot of time to be able to productively use it. TKDiff is intuitive enough, and specialized so that I could instantly do something with it. While I understand that emacs can be an extremely valuable tool, the GUI is anemic.
