[BTW, you shouldn't be using the textutils package anymore. It has been superseded by the Coreutils package (which also includes sh-utils and fileutils packages). http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ ] Thanks for the suggestion. With the CVS sources, you get this: Usage: comm [OPTION]... FILE1 FILE2 Compare sorted files FILE1 and FILE2 line by line. With no options, produce three-column output. Column one contains lines unique to FILE1, column two contains lines unique to FILE2, and column three contains lines common to both files. -1 suppress lines unique to FILE1 -2 suppress lines unique to FILE2 -3 suppress lines that appear in both files --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit Report bugs to <[email protected]>. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
