Execute diff with the two parameters via TProcess. Read the output as
normal, and simply write that output to a text file using TFileStream,
TStringList etc..
eg:
p := TProcess.Create(nil);
p.Options := [poUsePipes, poStdErrToOutPut];
....
p.Execute
...
SetLength(Buf,BufSize);
repeat
if (p.Output<>nil) then
begin
Count:=p.Output.Read(Buf[1],Length(Buf));
// add Buf to a TFileStream, TStringList etc.
...
until Count=0;
