Unfortunately, this is likely to take a fair while if it works like the RT does under AIX, because blocking will fail. To make things work better, use dd to read the files and specify a large ibs= which is a multiple of 512. Ed Clarke (hi, Ed) suggested using diff. cmp should be significantly faster, and is probably a better fit for "byte per byte" comparisons. -- Nick Simicich --- uunet!bywater!scifi!njs --- njs@ibm.com (Internet)
