Short: V1.0, compare 2 binary file (with source) Author: Nicolas Pomarede (pomarede@isty-info.uvsq.fr) Uploader: Nicolas Pomarede (pomarede isty-info uvsq fr) Type: dev/c Architecture: m68k-amigaos This small tool compares 2 binary files and display the position of differing bytes. The functionnalities are rather limited, but it's fast. I coded this small tool in a hurry because I needed a program to compare many binary files, that could be used as a shell command (no window or things like that) and that would return a simple value depending on the result of the comparison (useful in scripts). By default, the differing positions are printed, but this can be turned off with the '-q' switch. Files are read 20000 bytes at a time, and there's no limitation on their length. If files don't have the same length, only the common parts are compared. After a comparison, the return codes are: 0 files are identical (DOS OK) 5 files are different (DOS WARN) 10 a system error occured (no memory, error reading, ...) (DOS ERROR) These codes can then be used in an 'IF' test. Requirements: - any AmigaDOS (tested on 1.3), any CPU. - 40 Kb of free mem. Version 1.0, 03/02/1997 by Nicolas Pomarede
