In a quest to remove as much GPL code from FreeBSD as possible, I ported it over. If you want to try it out, You can download the source at http://www.exit2shell.com/~skreuzer/code/sdiff.tar.gz I had a few people who are part of the NYC BSD Users Group beta test it for me and so far no one has encountered any problems so I thought I would pass it along to see if it would be considered as a replacement for the GNU version. The contents of the tarball is a shar archive which extracts the code in usr/src/usr.bin/sdiff and a patch the adds adds "sdiff" to SUBDIR in the Makefile in usr.bin and removes "sdiff" from the Makefile in gnu/usr.bin Questions, comments and criticisms are all welcome. -- Steven Kreuzer http://www.exit2shell.com/~skreuzer
