 
		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
 
	CMP (or COMpare) outfile</switch> = infile1, infile2
 
     where: outfile  the file or device where output is to be sent
	    switch   any combination of the CMP switches
	    infile1  the file to be compared to infile2
	    infile2  the file to be compared to infile1
