Hi, people.  (info-gnu mailing list, GNU wdiff THANKS file members)

The program wdiff is a front end to diff for comparing files on a word
per word basis.  A word is anything between whitespace.  This program
is particularily useful for comparing two texts in which a few words
have been changed and for which paragraphs have been refilled.

A new release will soon be available on prep.ai.mit.edu, in directory
pub/gnu, as file wdiff-0.04.tar.Z.  All reported bugs have been fixed.
Thanks to all those who contributed comments or suggestions.

Installation has been simplified.  Flex is not anymore required for
non ANSI-C compilers.  wdiff uses the first found of gnudiff, diffgnu,
gdiff or diff.  Some other portability problems have been alleviated.
Here is a list of differences from version 0.03, extracted from NEWS:

* Add -a for automatic pager call, disallow this by default.
* Add -l for less-like overstriking.
* Add -n to forbid wrapping of differences.
* New cbars script for producing change bars.
* man page for wdiff 0.04.  Contributed and supported by contributor.
