Compare two files in unix

Hi Gurus
I need your kind help sorting the below query
I have two text files

Code:
 
File1.txt
ID   Name       Address 
101  Srinath      BBB
102  Sidharth     CCC

File2.txt
ID   Name      Address
102  Siddharth   DDD
103  Suman       EEE

Now the requirement is if the second file has new data which is not exist in file1 then it will flag as I (insert)
if in file2.txt any data exist in file1.txt but changed in file2.txt it will have flag value as U (Update)
if in file2.txt any data not exist from file1.txt it will update as D(Delete)

So the o/p needed in a new filw is
Code:
 
File3.txt
ID   Name     Address   Flag
101  Srinath   BBB       D
102  Sidharth  DDD       U
103  Suman     EEE       I

Thanks in advance

ppmtosixel(1)                                                 General Commands Manual                                                ppmtosixel(1)

NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC LJ250 color inkjet printer. If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file. OPTIONS
-raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com- pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni- tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower. -margin If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci- fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image. PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?. BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation. SEE ALSO
