I also ported GNU diff 1.14 and patch 2.0 to MS-DOS and OS/2. They work
well, I used patch for applying patches 1-9 to nethack 3.0, for example,
that's several megabytes of diffs and it worked and I am using diff also
regularly, but it fails on files with more than about 2000 lines but I
can live with this.

I already sent GNU diff to the moderator of comp.binaries.os2 and it
should appear there during the next time and I also prepared patch 2.0
for sending to the moderator today. Both executable run under MS-DOS and
OS/2 (protected mode). Maybe you should look at c.b.os2 during the next
time ...
