                              COMP

The COMP external command compares two files or sets of files.  COMP is 
frequently used after a COPY command to ensure that both files are identical.

    COMP [d1:][pathname1][filename1[.ext]] [d2:][pathname2][filename2[.ext]]
	 \____________________________/    \_______________________________/
		    \source/				\target/

[d1:][pathname1][filename1[.ext]] is the source file to be compared.
    Multiple files can be compared using the wildcard characters.

[d2:][pathname2][filename2.[ext]] is the target file to be compared with 
    the source file. If no target filename is entered, files with the same
    filename(s) as the source files in the target path will be compared.

The very first thing COMP does is compare the two file's sizes. If the size 
is different, the comparison ends.  COMP will continue displaying other 
differences until 10 differences are encountered.

Note: Two entire diskettes can be compared by using the DISKCOMP command.
