- 3.WHY DIFF ?
- ============
-
- I've mainly written it for personal use but...
- Have you ever had a new version of a program that had exactly the same
- filelength as an older version? Have you ever asked yourself in such a
- situation if that version couldn't be a fake one? IF you want to check out
- if somebody just zapped his name into the file AND this with a very
- compact and fast utility THEN DIFF is a program for you!
-
- 4.DESCRIPTION
- =============
-
- "Diff v1.0" is a Kickstart 2.0+ tool to check the number of differences
- between two files. If the files are not of the same length you will be
- notified and only the lowest number of bytes will be checked. The results
- are given in bytes as in percent.
-
- The source code is included. Note the fast assembly routine!
-
- 5.USAGE
- =======
-
- DIFF will only work with kickstart 2.0+
- You best put DIFF in your C: directory.
-
- Syntax : Diff <file1> <file2>
-
- All arguments are needed.
-
- Example: Diff foobar10 foobar11
-
- This will result in comparing the file 'foobar10' with 'foobar11'.
- Results will be given in bytes as in a percent.
-
