For trial purposes make a new, empty directory. Here we'll pretend
that directory is called "testing". Put "flow" in that directory. Then
do
$ cd testing # Make testing your current directory
$ chmod u+x flow # Make flow executable
$ PATH="$PATH:$PWD" # Now "flow" means something, for this session
$ icdiff-flow () { icdiff <( flow <"$1" ) <( flow <"$2" ) ; }
The shell function can be made a little simpler:
$ icdiff-flow () { icdiff <( flow "$1" ) <( flow "$2" ) ; }
