- XDIFF
-
- XDIFF/XFIX is a set of programs for quickly determining the changes
- which were made during an editing session on a text file.
- Those changes are written to an update file by XDIFF and then
- uploaded or transferred to a remote computer and the new file
- is reassembled with XFIX. Checksumming is used to guarantee that
- the new file is correct after being updated.
-
- The Source folder contains Macintosh and Unix system source code.
- Use the makefile for Unix systems, the xdiff.make build file for
- MPW C 3.0.
-
- These programs and documentation are in the public domain.
