Uses wdiff, available at
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/wdiff/wdiff-0.5g.tar.gz
and txt2html, a perl program, available at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=31276
txt2html installation instructions are at
http://txt2html.sourceforge.net/#install
Installation: Add #!/path/to/ruby to compare.rb. Copy compare.rb to desired directory (e.g., /usr/local/bin). Make compare.rb executable. Copy compare_model.rb and document_convert_model.rb to ruby library (e.g., /usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/). document_convert_model.rb is the same file included with doc_convert, also available on the RAA.
