On MacOS, the sdiff command is described as able to do line-by-line interactive merging, and lists several merge commands for the latest chunk.
e.g. sdiff -o mergefile fileleft fileright
The single letter commands such as l, r (choose left line, choose right line) work well, but those that involve an edit, such as el, ed, er, are troublesome -- they don't work for me. The manual states, e.g.
el: Edit a copy of the left version, then copy the result to the
output.
When I enter "el" at the % prompt, the response is a number which I think is a character count of the left chunk. There is no temporary file to edit. The command hangs.
Does anyone know of a working version of sdiff ?
Who should I send a bug report to?

If you read the manpage, it points to "info diff", which in turn advises you to set$EDITOR(otherwise you'll geted).
