Does anyone out there have a program for the IBM PC which can incorporate
diffs into source files? Quite a few of the larger programs which are
distributed on the Net often have diffs posted for them. This is fine for
Unix types but what about those of us who use MSDOS? Does such a program
exist for the PC, either PD or commercial?
cheers,
Andrew

With a little thought, it should be possible to build a program to convert the output of diff into input to EDLIN. Clayton E. Cramer
