Hpdiff(1) effectively does a ``parallel diff(1)''.  It prints two similar
files in parallel (using hpwide(1)), maintaining synchrony by inserting
blank lines in one or the other file.  Differences are marked by a
vertical bar in the left margin, while inserted space is marked with a colon.

Usage is:     hpdiff file1 file2

Output is sent to the second HP LaserJet printer in room 336.
