[BeyondCompare](http://www.scootersoftware.com/) is a nice GUI file difference engine that is cross platform, with support for both Windows and OSX. This package adds support to Sublime Text 2 and 3 for allowing you to diff the last two active views, even if they are in different Sublime windows.

When you launch Sublime Text, it will pick up the contents of this package so that you can consume the goodness that it provides.

Instructions for Use
