any suggestions:

1.	i am looking for a way to compare two .o files compiled from
	presumably the same src(comments added).

2.	i've tried running each .o through od -c and then through diff:

	discrepancies found:

	- there's a time/date stamp in the first record of each .o
	- the SCCS info(version, date, etc) 


3.	any suggestions as to how to clean the compare(diff) up would 
	be appreciated.


	thanks in advance,

	jim page
