This is the Free Software Foundation's latest version (2.3) of diff, diff3, and
cmp.They were ported to NT as part of research for an article by PC Week Labs.
They are *not* examples of good programming, since I'm far from a professional
C programmer.They do appear to work, but not every option has been tested
thoroughly.
Documentation can be found in the *.inf files that is zipped up with the source
code. The original source code is available from several internet sites. I ftp'ed
the original source for these files from sunsite.unc.edu in GNU's textutils
distribution. Source for sdiff (and a Visual C++ make file) are also included,
although I have not ported this yet. Feel free to finish the port. The changes
I made to the original source is documented in changes.nt, which I generated
with this command:
diff oldsrc newsrc
where oldsrc and newsrc were directories containing the original and my changed
sources, respectively. You can also use the changes.nt file to find out the
original long name of some of the files, before they were truncated by pkzip.
There are two zip files in this distribution.
diffsrc.zip -- source code and documentation
diffexe.zip -- executables.
I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who improves on these ports.
