The only portable option to "diff" that we are likely to want to use is "-b". Since it's been a recurring problem in practice to use other options, I think that we should try to stick to just -b and, if we need additional options, then perhaps we should write a wrapper script that provides those options. -- Ben Pfaff http://benpfaff.org _______________________________________________ pspp-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pspp-dev
