I sent my updates to cbt82.xmi directly to Sam Golob and to Bob. It should be on cbttape.org shortly. The comparison I do is of VTOC entries and PDS directories so it does not pick up any modules that have the same attributes, length etc. All I was after was a rough idea of what had changed on an IPL volume, not an exact change listing.
