thanks - i remember having used this one in the past, but i couldnt remember
its name :)

for those that like some GUI in their life, to launch xxdiff, i call a script
from the XFCE menu. The script runs zenity to allow me to select 2 directories
to compare:
--
#!/bin/sh
ZENITY="/usr/X11R6/bin/zenity"
XXDIFF="/usr/local/bin/xxdiff"

$XXDIFF --style windows `$ZENITY --file-selection --directory`/ \ 
`$ZENITY --file-selection --directory`/
---

thanks!
Beto
