DIF and SSED are availavble on Telegodzilla in DOS executables and source.

DIF is suited for gleaning the differences between revisions of a
program.  It is limited in the size of the differences it can scan past,
but does not limit the size of the files it can handle.  DIF does not detect
the identity of chunks of a file that have been moved a long distance.

SSED applies difference scripts generated by DIF's -e flag.
