On that document there is a mention of a script dircmp.pl and >says it is included in FreeBSD versions 2.0 and above. I coult not find >it in 2.2.7. It is available from his web site http://www.nothing-going-on.demon.co.uk/FreeBSD/make-world/dircmp.pl I am personally partial to something like diff -r --exclude=dev --side-by-side --suppress-common-lines since not only does it tell me what is there, not there, and changed, but in the same pass lets me know *how* it has changed so I can make the edits.
