xdelta requires that you have local access to the two files you want to diff... librsync's rdiff allows you to calculate a small signature which you diff against, allowing you do calculate diffs without local access to the "original" you are diffing against. This can be handy for many applications. We've lost the original application enquired about... but certainly xdelta should be better if you have local access to both files. -- Donovan Baarda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://minkirri.apana.org.au/~abo/ -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
