Do Mac versions of the Unix programs diff and grep exist, or anything
that is functionally equivalent? Of course, the perfect solution would
be to have them as desk accessories. Has anyone written any such program?

I have looked into the diff code, and it seems to be nontrivial to port
it to the Mac (lot of memory needed + temporary files + my C utility
routines are somewhat peculiar). Perhaps there are also legal objections
to porting it. Can anyone comment on that? (I'm on a 4.2BSD VAX).

Please answer by mail, and I will summarize.
