 
		CMP -- FILE COMPARE UTILITY
 
     CMP is used to compare two ASCII files so that differences may
 be easily seen.  Depending on the switches used it can,
 
   1) Generate a listing showing the differences between two files.
   2) Generate a listing with the changes marked with change bars.
   3) Generate output suitable for input to the SLP utility.
 
     The CMP command line is
 
	outfile[/Sw1,Sw2.....] = infile1, infile2
