It's been pointed out to me that Emeditor does support native file comparison.
Haven't checked this out yet but appologies in advance if my original post was in error.

Thanks for your reply. It's always good to hear from the author's perspective.
I did trial Zeus a year or so ago and, to be honest, I can't recall why I dismissed it.
I may be confusing it with slickedit, but I seem to remember cost being an obstacle. Again, I'll check this out and re-post.
Admittedly, it is difficult to keep up because pro-active authors are keen to deliver updates but users are not always aware of them.
Apologies if, by not including it, I have sold your product short. I will check it out again.
Stay tuned.

There is a Diff plugin for EmEditor, letting you compare two of the open files:
EditPad Pro lets you compare the current file with its backup. In both cases differing lines are shown in blocks one above another, not side by side:
Both implementations are very, very basic - nowhere near what dedicated diffing programs such as Beyond Compare offer.

Hey Jussi - maybe a DonationCoder discount is in order (can't hurt to ask, right?).

Two things that I really need and not many editors provide: ctags integration, and split window so you can show two files. Vim does that, but not many others.
Having mercurial integrated would be a plus, too.
