Thanks Tom. cmp is sometimes all I need but it doesn't actually show the

need to be able to see what's different. Anyway, I had another go at
diffutils, using the 2.7 source, and was able to compile that for libc5.
Will it fit though? ... (Have to wait until next time I can shut down to
find out).
Just a small note for next time; I find the debian archive is a good
place for tomsrtbt compatible binaries.

You want the 1.3.1 version for libc5 stuff.
To unwrap a *.deb without 'dpkg' you can use alien(1) or ar(1) plus tgz.
