[net.lang.lisp] Lisp program to catch cheaters?

neves@uwai.UUCP (05/16/85)

Has anyone written a program that will analyze student LISP programs for
similarities between them to catch copy cats?  If not, does anyone
have some guidelines for writing such a program -- such as
looking at number of functions, number of s-expressions, etc?

If you can't find anything like this, try using diff. It worked
reasonably well for me, although it would be easy to fool if you
knew it was being used.
