Is there a linux alternative to this DOS program ? File Intersection takes a slightly different approach to the task of file comparing. FINTRSCT compares two (smaller) files and outputs three files: one file listing lines unique to file 1; a second file containing lines unique to file 2; and a third file containing paired shared lines. Lines are numbered to allow easy location in original files. The order of lines in the input files is not relevant, and comparisons are case insensitive. Useful for comparing different versions win.ini, autoexec.bat, etc..also useful for comparing updated file lists (e.g., easily determine "what's new"). 16 and 32-bit versions included. Author: Paul Trout (1996). Suggested by Marianna Van Erp. USAGE: fintrsct file1 file2 Creates : unique1 - lines unique to file1 unique2 - lines unique to file2 common - lines common to file1 and file2
