[comp.sys.dec.micro] File comparison program

GTHEALL@PENNDRLN.BITNET (George A. Theall) (08/01/88)

    Does anyone out there know of a file comparison program for
the Rainbow which includes the source? Ideally, I'd like something
in C, but pascal or assembler would be fine. A nice feature would be
the ability to browse the two files in separate windows at the same
time, with differences highlighted. Wishful thinking??

Such an animal does exist (commercially).  I have a demo version of it
available for download on The Pot of Gold (FidoNet Node 1:109/483).  The
phone number is listed below.

The file is located in the RAINBOW file area (naturally) and is called
VWIDEMO.ARC.  The company name is CICA.
