- NAME
- COMP.COM - Binary comparison of files.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- comp [/#] file1 [file2]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- COMP.COM is a replacement for the MS-DOS command of the same name.
- It compares the two files as binary files and prints out the
- differences, one per line, with the character equivalents of any bytes
- that correspond to printable characters.
-
- If the second parameter is not given, the first file is compared with
- a file of the same name in the current directory of the current drive.
-
- Either argument may be a directory, or may contain wild cards (but
- not both). Directory arguments refer to all files in the given
- directory, but not subdirectories of the directory.
-
- The `#' parameter gives the maximum number of errors to report per
- file. Default is 65535 if file1 is a single file, 10 otherwise.
-
- The '/' in the above synopsis refers to the switch character.
