Is there a PC-based program like Quick Diff?

Question

Quick Diff is great because - as the author says - rather than "having to create two files ... just paste in fragments of code to perform a diff". However, it's an online tool, and sometimes I'd prefer not to send code offsite.

Is there a similar, PC-based utility?

I use WinMerge, it does the exact same thing you say. Plus, it's open source.

If you don't like it, there's also KDiff3, but it requires two files.

Thanks - that's great. Paste in two code fragments and click Refresh. Hey presto! – Chris Degnen Mar 27 '13 at 10:26
