I recently unpacked and tested Gnu diff, and it's quite a lot faster than Sun's diff. However, the documentation gives a reference to an article in Comm. of the ACM that describes the algorithm used. Unfortunately, CACM is not free information, and so the reference will have to be expunged. Unfortunately, that will make the code incomprehensible, unless FSF details someone to write a complete description of the algorithm. Dale
