Warning:
There are atleast two (possibly trivial) problems with this
version of diff:
1) Incompatibility with the "real" diff -c option:
diff -c f1 f2 => works
pdiff -c f1 f2 => "Usage: diff [-options] file1 file2"
[hint: getopt]
2) Munged file name headers with the -c option, thus
causing "patch" to puke:
UNIX diff -c output:
*** readme Wed Feb 22 09:23:35 1989 <= note
--- readme2 Wed Feb 22 09:23:07 1989 <= note
***************
*** 17,23 ****

PD diff -c output:
*** pdiff <= note ?!?
--- -c2
**************
*** 18,22
[.. deleted ..]
[hint: fileAname != pdiff, fileBname != -c2]
