* Package name : diff1 Version : 0.4.1 Upstream Author : April Furst * URL : http://www.diff1.net/ * License : GPL, `diff1 -u GFDL | patch` Description : compares file's actual state with file's desired state diff1 is a special version of diff that takes only one file as an argument. diff1 then compares the file's present state with the file's desired state and reports any differences in the same format as the regular diff command, suitable for input to the patch program. diff1 is very useful for correcting writing and, when used with source code, can be extremely useful for correcting bugs. diff1 works best when its input is close to correct, but in a pinch, diff1 can be used to create complete original works if given an empty file as an argument. At this point, diff1 is still under development and depends upon the utm (Universal Truth Machine) and dwim (Do What I Mean) libraries. The eventual goal is that diff1 should be "self-hosting" -- the final, bug-free version of diff1 will be generated by running diff1 on its own sources, at which point it will be finished and will be able to determine the correct answers to all questions that can be expressed using written language. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
