this is an announcement of the release of version 0.9.4 of my
filecompare utility
please send any comments to me in personal, for I don't have the time
to keep up with the newsgroup/mailinglist (I do read them
occasionally,but not all of it)
htis utility can be obtained at
www.cpedu.rug.nl/~N0772984/martijn.html
the file README.CM follows:
version 0.9.4
The most important line from the whole document:
run the program without arguments to get usage help
CMP. a file compare utility
I wrote this utility, and I think it is quite useful. A
graphical version with
more lines on the screen(50 instead of 25) is also available the way.
this program is swapware(I like this idea Shawn), that means if you
use my program and you like it, send me something in return. my email
adress is m DOT versteegh AT cpedu DOT rug DOT nl my mail adress is

DISTRUBUTION:
please distribute this program as much as possible, for I
think it is
a useful tool, especially when you're managing more versions of a
program in development I would very much aprreciate it if you
distributed the program in an archive together with this text file.
As this is just version 0.9 please send all bug reports to me.
this version is from januari 1997 so if it's more than 2
months old there probably is a fixed version, and I'd rather
not get any bug reports about this one anymore
features:
-two file displayed next to eachother
-arrow keys scroll the first file, the second file will be
displayed
so, that the common lines are next to eachother
- -/+ to jump to the next/last difference
-option to compress multiple spaces into one when comparing
-option to ignore all spaces when comparing -option to ignore
all lines with less than n characters, wehere n is out of
0-9, this comes in handy with source code because you
don't want to compare single {'s.
-option to ignore C++ style // comments when comparing lines
-interactively make a third file from the best parts of the
other two
changes from the last version:
-bugfixes (o.a. a bug that caused the program not to diplay
properly) -added INS/DEL (inserts a line from panel 2 in panel
1/deletes a line from panel 1) -added CONTROL-ARROWS (just
moves file 2, while leaving file 1 still)
still to do
-linux port
-any other suggestions from users
the source code will be available as soon as I have translated the
comments from dutch to english the original site of this program(as
long as I'm still studying) is http://iglo.cpedu.rug.nl/~N0772985
