There are copies of a utility called xcomm, plus a later, much more enhanced version of the same concept called xcmalt, available via anon ftp to tut.cis.ohio-state.edu in pub/xcomm. It is SysV-oriented, but is known to build and run successfully on Suns using /usr/5bin/cc, as well as on Pyramids under the att universe. Once upon a time, I also built it under HP-UX, but that was several releases of HP-UX ago, and I don't know if it would still build there. They're also accessible via uucp to osu-cis; request osu-cis!~/xcomm/xcomm.tar.Z osu-cis!~/xcomm/xcmalt.tar.Z I recommend xcmalt for its features and general bug-free-ness, though in practice I use xcomm more. --Karl
