Purpose of this program:
Compare two binary files and print the difference in a TYPE HEX style output.
Synopsis:
Cmp FILE1/A,FILE2/A,WIDTH/N,BUFFERSIZE/N,QUIET/S
FILE1,FILE2: The two files to compare
WIDTH: The width of the output, in bytes. Defaults to eight.
BUFFERSIZE: The size of the I/O buffers. Default is 4096 bytes.
The buffersize is limited by 65535 bytes, though.
QUIET: Do not print the differences, just the net result.
Useful in scripts.
"Cmp" is so tiny, even this readme is longer than the actual binary.... ;-)

Changes made in 40.4:
-Added the QUIET option.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Changes made in 40.3:
-Cmp got a bit faster, even though one could do much better.
-The maximal buffersize was doubled...(-:
_____________________________________________________________________________
Changes made in 40.2:
-Cmp is now pure, i.e. can be made resident.
-Cmp uses the localized version for the "***Break" message.
