I am submitting the following three programs to the public domain in care
of the C users group:
DIFF.EXE A file differencer program roughly patterned
after the UNIX utility of the same name. It
has UNIX-style output, and uses an interesting
differencing algorithm, the "recursive longest
matching sequence" algorithm.
DELTA.EXE A variation of the DIFF utility which generates
files suitable for passing to the UNIX editor 'ed'
to generate a new file based on an existing file
and a delta file. It can be used to effect a very
primitive source code control system, or as a basis
for developing a full-featured SCCS.
APPLY.EXE A utility which will apply a delta created using
DELTA.EXE to a source file. This effectively mimics
the operation of UNIX ed's script editing.
These utilities were all developed under Microsoft OS/2 version 1.0 and 1.1,
using the MS C version 5.1 compiler. They use no OS/2 specific calls, and
should be portable to any ANSI standard compiler (and probably even a straight
K & R compiler with slight modification).
A note to OS/2 users:
These routines use only family API calls, and therfore can be bound
(using the MS BIND utility) to run under MS-DOS 3.X as well as
MS-OS/2 1.X.
