[net.micro.cpm] need program to compare .com files

ABN.ISCAMS@USC-ISID.ARPA (08/15/84)

Manny,

I usually use COMPASC.COM for ASCII and COMPBIN.COM for binary - work OK
so long as there aren't TOO many differences.  An earlier COMPARE.ASM is in
SIGM Volume 74 at SIMTEL20 (MICRO:<SIGM.VOL074>COMPARE.ASM (8k.  I also
see a listing for COMP-12.ASM and .DOC in SIGM.VOL073 ("binary file
comparison-use wi DD6" ("enhanced version of DDUMP")..

Can't seem to find my pointers to COMPBIN - got it from out there somewhere,
and have it myself if no one else points you to the source.

Regards,

Try HEXDIF.COM.  It prints the differences between two .COM files in
both hex and ascii.  It's available from SIMTEL20 as:

Filename			Type	 Bytes	 Sectors     CRC

Directory MICRO:<CPM.GENCOM>
HEXDIF.COM.1			COM	  6528   51 =  33H  CC7CH
