- I didn't say that cdif works only on terminal. You can
- specify any sequence to hilight texts (e.g. \fB and \fP).
- If the standard output is not a terminal, cdif hilights
- texts by overstruck and underlined character by default.
- Also using my version of a2ps, overstruck and underlined
- texts are printed in bold and italic font respectively.

- Yes, cdif can process diff -u output, of course :-)
- And so does the sdif.
