   The left/middle/right windows are named A/B/C and have the blue/green/magenta
   color respectively.
</p><p>
   If one file is the same and one file is different on a line then the
   color   shows which file is different. The red color means that both other
   files  are different.

   merges as much as possible. The result is presented in an editable window
   where most conflicts can be solved with a single mouseclick: Select the
   buttons  A/B/C from the button-bar to select the source that should be used.
   You can  also select more than one source. Since this output window is an
   editor even  conflicts which need further corrections can be solved here without
   requiring  another tool.
