My dear illustrious leaders and senior debian-user list-members,

I tried diffuse, but it appears to me that it suffers from a
limitation so far as my need is concerned. It compares files by lines
and line numbers, so I can't use word-wrap to have the differences
between two files within the program window without venturing out to
the right within the two file windows.

Is there a way to Word Wrap? Am I making a mistake here? Which program
would be the best suited for my work for comparing text files?

There is a package called diffoscope but it has to install a long list
of dependent packages in my present Debian system installed from
"Official Debian GNU/Linux Live 11.6.0 lxde 2022-12-17T11:46"

Eagerly awaiting your advice.

Best wishes,
Rajib B
Etc.
