Speaking as a guy who chewed through a lot of hours trying to get DiffMk operating at an acceptable level, just buy the DeltaXML license and figure out a way of scripting access to it.

DiffMk was an hobby/experiment for Norm. The DeltaXML people are specialists and have built a tonne of functionality into their products. In addition to that, they're a very nice bunch.

Cheers,
Jeff.
