[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Wanted: Unix-like diff program for MSDOS

fredrick@acdpyr.ucar.edu (Tim Fredrick) (12/09/88)

We have a need to compare text files to find out how they differ in the
same way as the "diff" command in UNIX.  It doesn't have to be as fancy,
i.e., we don't need to do binary files.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

There is a set of unix-like tools in the public domain for MS-DOS based
machines called PICNIX.  They should be available on just about any large
bulletin board in your area.  The bulletin board I obtained it from had
several files of them, and the one containing it was called PICNIX3.ARC.
It was slightly over 400K in size.

Hope this helps
