Wow... That's the sort of horror story I read about in books
but never think  would actually happen .... next time we have a thunderstorm I 
will unplug my discman :->

Maybe you can tell me what I'm doing wrong. I thought diff <old-file>
<new-file> would generally produce a working diff file; this works when only
one line is changed in the file, but as soon as I insert an extra line
it just prints out both entire files, one preceded by >s and the other by <.
What switch do I have to use to get it to work properly??

BTW, I've changed my device drivers a little so that they now use the file.h,
types.h, and atarierr.h from xconout2/mint, and I also moved locore.h into
the same directory (they recompile and run fine still). Perhaps it might not
be a bad idea to move the mint include directory into wws/server now that
two different subdirectories use it??
