- Short: Fast diff command to compare text
- Uploader:u2203@sparc0a.cs.uiuc.edu
-
- This is a fast, simple diff command which doesn't give up
- until memory runs out. It needs enough memory to hold
- all the differing lines from both files since the last
- time synch was lost.
-
- It takes order (n + m^3) time where n is the total number of lines
- in both files and m is the number of differing lines. This may
- seem slow but typically m is much less than n, and so things
- aren't so bad.
-
- Also it's written in assembly w/ all the longwords long-word aligned
- for 68020's and higher. It needs just a 68000 and 2.04 or higher---
- the longword alignment is just a bonus for 32bit machines.
