show the oddball file

maybe a possiblity for a coding snack.  After searching DC for a simple folder compare tool and not finding one so here goes.

I am looking for a small program that will compare the contents of two folders and show me the files that make up each folder and then highlight the oddball file that shows in only one folder.  In this example, they will be .txt files but may not always be that way.

I need to transfer some folders between computers but would like to know what is different before copying.

I am just looking for a simple program, nothing fancy.

Shades:
Are the following options too complicated?

- CSDiff
- WinMerge
- DiffMerge (free for single user)

Personally, I liked the CSDiff product a lot (freeware, good manual and can be expanded with CS versioning).
WinMerge I know and did not like at the time I was looking (many many many(!) moons ago).
DiffMerge is completely unknown to me.

DirDiff

Directory Compare (This one is more of a backup utility)

 :) I use ViceVersa from http://www.tgrmn.com!

Very powerful, the pay versions may be overkill?
There's a freeware version at http://www.tgrmn.com/free/
