+.SH NAME
+kompare \- a TDE GUI for viewing differences between files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B kompare
+[ \fIgeneric-options\fP ]
+.br
+.B kompare
+[ \fIgeneric-options\fP ] [ \fB\-c\fP ] \fIURL1 URL2\fP

+.B kompare
+[ \fIgeneric-options\fP ] \fB\-b\fP \fIURL diff\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBKompare\fP is a graphical user interface for viewing the differences
+between two files.  It will also optionally create a diff file.
+.PP
+Depending upon what is passed on the command line, Kompare can compare
+documents, display diff files and blend diff files back into original
+documents.
+.PP
+If an url is given as - then Kompare will read the corresponding file
+from standard input.  Thus (for instance) Kompare can be used as:
+.PP
+.RS
+cvs diff | kompare \-o \-
+.RE
+.PP
+This utility is part of the TDE Software Development Kit.
+.SH OPTIONS
+Below are the kompare-specific options.
+For a full summary of options, run \fIkompare \-\-help\fP.
+.TP
+\fB\-b\fP \fIURL diff\fP
+Blends \fIdiff\fP into URL.  \fIdiff\fP is expected to be diff output and
+\fIURL\fP the file or folder that the diff output needs to be blended into.
+.TP
+\fB\-c\fP \fIURL1 URL2\fP
+Compares \fIURL1\fP with \fIURL2\fP.  This is the default mode if two
+URLs are passed.
+.TP
+\fB\-n\fP
+Used with \fB\-o\fP to stop Kompare from checking for the original file.
+.TP
+\fB\-o\fP \fIdiff\fP
+Opens the given diff file.  This is the default mode if only one URL is
+passed.
+.br
+Kompare will check to see if it can find
+the original file(s).  If it can, it will blend the original file(s) into
+the diff output and show the result in the viewer.  Passing \fB\-n\fP
+will disable this check.
+.SH SEE ALSO
+The original documentation from the program author
+is available in \fI/usr/share/doc/kompare/\fP.
