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

PAPS(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   PAPS(1)

NAME
paps - UTF-8 to PostScript converter using Pango SYNOPSIS
paps [options] files... DESCRIPTION
paps reads a UTF-8 encoded file and generates a PostScript language rendering of the file. The rendering is done by creating outline curves through the pango ft2 backend. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. --landscape Landscape output. Default is portrait. --columns=cl Number of columns output. Default is 1. Please notice this option isn't related to the terminal length as in a "80 culums terminal". --font=desc Set the font description. Default is Monospace 12. --rtl Do right to left (RTL) layout. --paper ps Choose paper size. Known paper sizes are legal, letter and A4. Default is A4. Postscript points Each postscript point equals to 1/72 of an inch. 36 points are 1/2 of an inch. --bottom-margin=bm Set bottom margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --top-margin=tm Set top margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --left-margin=lm Set left margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --right-margin=rm Set right margin. Default is 36 postscript points. --gutter-width=gw Set gutter width. Default is 40 postscript points. --help Show summary of options. --header Draw page header for each page. --markup Interpret the text as pango markup. --lpi Set the lines per inch. This determines the line spacing. --cpi Set the characters per inch. This is an alternative method of specifying the font size. --stretch-chars Indicates that characters should be stretched in the y-direction to fill up their vertical space. This is similar to the texttops behaviour. AUTHOR
