I just discovered and tried to use the nice GNU sdiff utility. A primary feature of this utility is it's ability to interactively work with file differences. However, the documentation (man sdiff) does not explain any of the commands that are used interactively. I found that there are explained on the GNU site though: http://www.gnu.org/manual/diffutils/html_chapter/diff_9.html#SEC59 I'm not sure whether this is a GNU distribution bug or a FreeBSD bug. I'm sorry if I'm posted this report in th wrong place. Thanks for the great OS. :) -mark >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
