I remember those; the problem was if you'd _added_ a bunch of lines 
somewhere in the middle, they'd get real lost. Worked great for _minor_ 
changes, but not so good for major ones.

I think the "commercial" version of BBEdit sounds like the best bet so 
far. Don't have a copy of "ALPHA", so can't check it out...
