+NAME
+ mnvdiff - edit between two and eight versions of a file with MNV and
+ show differences
+
+SYNOPSIS
+ mnvdiff [options] file1 file2 [file3 [file4 [file5 [file6 [file7
+ [file8]]]]]]
+
+ gmnvdiff
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ MNVdiff starts MNV on two up to eight files. Each file gets its own
+ window. The differences between the files are highlighted. This is a
+ nice way to inspect changes and to move changes from one version to an‐
+ other version of the same file.
+
+ See mnv(1) for details about MNV itself.
+
+ When started as gmnvdiff the GUI will be started, if available.
+
+ In each window the 'diff' option will be set, which causes the differ‐
+ ences to be highlighted.
+ The 'wrap' and 'scrollbind' options are set to make the text look good.
+ The 'foldmethod' option is set to "diff", which puts ranges of lines
+ without changes in a fold. 'foldcolumn' is set to two to make it easy
+ to spot the folds and open or close them.
+
+OPTIONS
+ Vertical splits are used to align the lines, as if the "-O" argument
+ was used. To use horizontal splits instead, use the "-o" argument.
+
+ For all other arguments see mnv(1).

+AUTHOR
+ Most of MNV was made by Bram Moolenaar, with a lot of help from others.
+ See ":help credits" in MNV.
