I'm a big fan of meld - a visual diff and merge tool for Gnome. It shows two files (or directories) side by side with their differences highlighted and I can easily select which parts I want to move from one file to the other.

I'm looking for a similar tool but it should work on the (linux) console, eg. do not require any X server. Maybe using a ncurses interface.

Is there such tool?

You can use vim -d file1 file2 for that.
