[comp.sources.wanted] numerical analyst's DIFF

yuval@taux01.UUCP (Gideon Yuval) (05/05/88)

Is there a DIFF-style tool available, which understands that (e.g.)
0.999999999 should NOT be considered different from 1.000000000 ?

In response to a recent question:

Yes, there will be a diff that understands approximate numerical equality
either available, or at least documented, within the next several
months.

Hold your breath, that's all I can say right now.
