[TUHS] ctcompare 1.2 is up

[Warren Toomey]

Hi all,
	It's probably bad form to release a new version of a program
24 hours after the last version, but version 1.2 of my C comparison
tool is now available at http://minnie.tuhs.org/Programs/Ctcompare.

The speed has been vastly improved by using the Rabin-Karp string
comparison algorithm, and thanks go to Roger Willcocks who pointed
me at the algorithm. There are no other bug fixes, and I shouldn't
bring out a new version for quite a while now.

So if you have access to any restricted C source trees, maybe you can
send me the ctf file of the tree so I can do some comparisons!

Cheers,
	Warren

The 4.3BSD-Quasijarus dists were compressed with a compression format
that's not compatible with either gzip nor old compress(1). Michael
Sokolov should be able to send in some notes on the tools required.

Not that I know of.

Not that I know of. I'll cc this to the TUHS list and see if any other
people know the answer.

Yes, I'd appreciate that :-)

Thanks,
