   Nope, for *nix there is a very good tool - kdiff3 but did not need it.

   Totally agreed - plus weather moves faster than the emails.   
      
   Now found two errors that could well have caused this problem so fixed and   
   recompiled and installed the program.   
   I will take a look at the version that ran on the Pi to see if it was fixed   
   there - in which case I will get very annoyed with myself as there is no   
   excuse for sloppiness in programming or s/w management.   
      
   Although my excuse could be my age.   
      
   Now to see if it fixes it -   
   I have resubmitted the dropped good ? echos :   
      
   SECURITY   
   UKNEWS   
   HUMOR   
      
   IMECHO I did not do so as there is zero traffic for that.   
      
   Will try and remember if these expire next year I will leave them alone.   
   Possibly some more that now sits under the BACKBONE banner.   
      
   Problem with mbse (that uses JAM), is there is no statistics available for    
   echo   
   areas.
