It is correct that the option -c produce the context diff, known to patch, IIF the diff is a berkeley version of the diff. The standard SysV diff does not support option -c. But I know that a public domain version of diff, that does support -c has been posted to the net about an year ago. /Thomas -- ***************************************************************************** Thomas P.S.

I received a program called cdiff that operates as a front end to diff producing the context diff required. If anyone wants it, just drop me a line and I'll mail it to you.

At this point I looked to uunet to see if such a beastie was, in fact, archived there. I find that there is a listing for diffc under comp.sources.unix. Thanks to one and all for their help. -- Aaron Pelton | If it sounds like an opinion, it's probably mine. aaron@satco.UUCP | Only R.
