Beginner's Instructions for using diff3 tool for Source Diving

diff3(1) - compare three source files line by line (CLI).

First rename and place the desired files to same directory folder.

Synopsis:

diff3 sourcefile_one.txt sourcefile_two.txt sourcefile_three.txt

For example Graves have Headstones so let's see if there is new "epitaphs to random headstones" added between NetHack 3.6.0 and NetHack 5.0.0

Example command:

nethacker@NAO:~/games/NetHack/dat$ diff3  epitaph360.txt epitaph370.txt epitaph.txt

Produces terminal output (diff-file):

 # NetHack 3.6  epitaph.txt       $NHDT-Date: 1524689580 2018/04/25 20:53:00 $  $NHDT-Branch: NetHack-3.6.0 $:$NHDT-Revision: 1.3 $

 #"reached Mine's End": not necessarily true; sounds like "reached my end"
 I have reached Mine's End

There is no changes between versio 3.6.0 and 3.7.0 but 5.0.0 adds one new epitaph (and first ever comment to the text, which tries to explain the added pun.
