Does anyone know if there exists any public domain 'diff' program for the IBM PC. If so, where can I get it ??

I do not know the answer to the diff program, but see if /pc/ts/filecomp.exe is of any use to you. It is obtainable by anynymous ftp from the University of Vaasa, Finland (128.214.12.3).

Having recently conducted a search for a good PC diff, here's my .02... The file HDIFF122.ARC (37698 bytes) available by anon ftp from grape.ecs.clarkson.edu (128.153.13.196) is the best diff clone I could find (it seems like I saw this at simtel under a different name, but I can't be sure. Anybody seen it?) It does all the typical diff stuff: displays lines from each file which aren't in the other, and generates edwin diff files. I've gotten good use from it. As always, your mileage may vary. good luck, --jeffy
