[comp.sources.wanted] info on diff program producing "patch" useable output

aaron@satco.UUCP (Aaron Pelton) (06/27/89)

     I'm looking for pd source to a diff program that will produce output that
patch can use as input. I would prefer info on where it may be obtained and/or
*if* you could mail it to me. I do not have ftp access.

Try "diff -c file1 file2"    (yes, regular diff)

That is all that patch needs.

At least the diff on HP-UX 3.0 doesn't understand -c (context?) option.
That's why I'd also be interested in a diff that does.

Or you can get cdiff via anonymous FTP to jpl-devvax.jpl.nasa.gov.

I'm not the NRA either.

Or, the ultimate win: get GNU diff. Faster than vanilla diff of either
flavor and groks -c. FTP to prep.ai.mit.edu or UUCP to osu-cis.
