Dear Clients and Friends,
When I programmed operating systems,
one of the most useful utilities was
a fast program I wrote to compare
two files, and return a Y/N status
to the operating system, via a global
variable (one which survives after
CALL EXIT in Fortran). This program
ignored the time and date stamp, and
simply compared the two bit streams
for identity. Rather than report
individual discrepancies, it simply
stopped, if and when it found two
corresponding bits which were not
the same. Or, if it got to the end
and all bits were the same, and the
files were the same length, it would
report aok. Here is a typical
command-line sequence:
C:\MYDIR> compare a.txt b.txt
files are identical
C:\MYDIR> compare a.txt junk.txt
files are different
Does anybody know what language would
be the most convenient one in which
to write such a utility? I do want
the code to be fast, like the code
written by people who write the
Norton Utilities. I always wrote in
Fortran, because that was our operating
system language. It had a very fast
low-level routine for reading whole
pages (2,048 bytes per page).
Any advice you may have would be
most appreciated. I want a compiled
program which will work across a
Windows network.
