Re: version of diff / diff3 for libc5?

Thanks Tom.   cmp is sometimes all I need but it doesn't actually show the 
diff, only a boolean and an offset   (or can it be told to do so?).     I 
need to be able to see what's different.      Anyway, I had another go at 
diffutils, using the 2.7 source, and was able to compile that for libc5.     
Will it fit though?  ...   (Have to wait until next time I can shut down to 
find out).

Your list server still reports that the mailing list archives can't be 
found.     Are they gone forever?

Did you try using the (included) 'cmp' program?

It isn't diff, but...
