Anyway, what you want is either "diff -u" or "diff -c" output. Both are easier to read. Unified diffs ("-u") are smaller. You will see easily what has changed and what was added/removed. "-c" will give you lines preceded by "+"/"-" for added removed and "!" for changed lines in separate area for both files. "-u" will give you only "+"/"-" but there is only one area displayed (so they are smaller). -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.frmug.fr.net FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 2.2-CURRENT #5: Mon Oct 30 00:03:29 MET 1995
