I'm currently looking into porting the c source of diff to a java version. I'd like to add the ability for the Java version to accept two data streams for comparison, rather than going through the file system. Are there any known projects that can help me on this endeavor? Or any documentation you can point me to to help me better understand the diff source? What I'm hoping to understand are portions that are not necessary to port over to java. For example, alot of the stat stuff can be left out. I'd also like to better understand the actual algorithm that performs the diff. I'd like to start off with functionality that just compares data within streams, and then add the file and directory command line functionity and options later. Thanks! ------------------------------------ Ronel Sumibcay Systems Analyst Innotiv, Inc. http://www.innotiv.com email: sumibcay AT innotiv DOT com voice: 619 268 1102 ext. 228 -- -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
