    17 .LP
       
    18 Meld is a graphical diff and merge tool that allows a user to visually compare two or three files simultaneously and edit the files in place. Differences are updated in real-time and highlighted using color coding. Users can also compare two or three directories at a time and launch file comparisons. In addition, users can browse working copies of the code from popular version control systems including CVS, Subversion, Bazaar-ng and Mercurial.

    20 More extensive help information for Meld is included in the graphical interface.
