Now available via standard anonymous FTP from SIMTEL20: Directory pd1:<msdos.txtutl> GESTALT.ARC - New string similarity function [ASM,C,Turbo Pascal] From Dr. Dobbs, Jul 88. C, 8086 assembler, Turbo Pascal (with inline assembler) source for a different string comparison function that returns the percent of similarity (between 0 and 100%). C version from the original authors, assembler and Turbo Pascal (v3.0) versions from me. Fun hack! (Though the algorithm will warp your mind...)
