And program objects?

Once, confronting such a problem (load modules), we dumped the two
with AMBLIST and compared the dumps.  (I don't recall whether we
used SuperC.)  (Displacements differed because of a mapping macro
inconsistency; no offsets within the module changed.)

I recall an old Macintosh utility that would compare two executables
and produce an update control file (AMAultraZAP?)  Shareware, I think.
