Irek,

Thanks for the research.

dehtmldiff is a shell script, while editdiff and espdiff are bash
scripts, so from an PSARC pov it would look something like this:

     ...
     /usr/bin/dehtmldiff                 Uncommitted         Shell script
     /usr/bin/editdiff                   Uncommitted         Bash script
     /usr/bin/espdiff                    Uncommitted         Bash script
     ...

   4.2 Imported Interfaces

     Interface Name                      Classification  Comments
     ------------------------------      --------------  ---------------
     /usr/bin/bash                       Volatile        SUNWbash
     /usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perl5.8.4      Uncommitted     SUNWperl584core
     /usr/xpg4/bin/sh                                    SUNWxcu4


BTW. Anyone know the classification for SUNWxcu4?

Cheers,
Jim
