This means you can select two files in Windows file manager and right click to compare them. Or if one file is in one folder, you select it then browse to the other file in another folder and right click to compare them.

While compiling meld (2 hours and yet unfinished!) I found KDiff3m downloaded and played with it. Looks just what I wanted. Kudos for providing binaries! Was looking for a Mac OS X diff tool.

Well, it's FAST too, data seems to stream from both devices near-simultaneously so its not reading lumps in turn from each device like Windiff. Excellent - highly recommended!
