	About a year ago, a shell script called diffmark was posted to
the net.  You feed it 2 versions of an nroff document and it produces
as its output an nroff document with change bars in the margin.  If there
is enough interest, I guess I could post the copy I have.  I should point
out that I didn't write it -- it's by somebody named King Ables, but
I don't have his net address.
