of diff.

External Dependencies
---------------------
 
	These files rely on the (read) file access routines provided
	by RcsFile, as defined in rcsfio.h.
 
	These files also use stdhdrs.h, a wrapper for system header files
	that uses #define's to determine what to include.  Mostly all that
	are needed are the very common headers (stdio.h, string.h, stdlib.h)
	and the types header (sys/types.h).
 
Debugging
---------
 
	Note that there are a number of
 
	#if DEBUGLEVEL > n
	 .... debugging output ....
	#endif
 
	blocks in the code.  If DEBUGLEVEL is not defined, then it is
	#define'd to be zero.  DEBUGLEVEL=1 produces a reasonable amount of
	output (summary information such as #lines).  
 
What do they do?
----------------
 
	p4diff (difftest.cc) provides the same style of output as GNU
	diff.  The output is often identical to that of diff(1), although
	sometimes this implementation picks a different edit sequence.
