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 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. 6.VERSION ========= $VER: Diff 1.0 (10.04.95) Written in "Amiga E"-language by Wouter van Oortmerssen 7.GREETINGS =========== ...to Free Van Heddegem, (WWW-Page: http://igwe1.vub.ac.be/~freevh) who suggested me to write this util.
