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.
