WHAT IS THIS THING?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This one is a simply program that compares two files and displays eventual
discordances. Naturally the files must have same length.



SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

   DiskFont.library



FEATURES - SWITCHES
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
SHOW POS               If NO, no position display will be calculated, and the
                       7MHz Amiga will be faster


COPY FILES TO MEMORY   If YES, the program copys the files to compare to
                       memory (if there is enough memory), so the comparison
                       will be faster

LOAD FILES             Load files to compare



ICONIFY                Choosing this item, will iconify the window onto the
                       workbench. All functions are disabled


QUIT                   Bye, bye!
