The ZCPR2 utilities COMPARE and DIFF are for file compare.  COMPARE
simply tells you if two files are the same, and DIFF lists differences
in decimal, hex, and ASCII.  SIMTEL20 has these in the ZCPR2 archives.

COMPARE.COM compares any CP/M files and aborts when it comes to a difference.
DF.COM compares two ASCII files and prints the differences to the console.
HEXDIF.COM compares any two CP/M files (binary or ASCII) and prints the
addresses and the byte values in HEX and ASCII (if printable).  All are
available on SIMTEL20.  Get MICRO:<CPM>CPM.CRCLST for a complete listing
of what's available.

There are BDS C programs in the public domain to do file compartisons.
These are avaialble on one of the CPMUG volumes.
The set includes DIF2, which is like the Unix DIFF (it finds the
differences), and SSED, which is a stream editor that
can use the difference files to turn one text into another.
I have used them on CP/M-80, and they work OK.
