// Devised & Written by Douglas Reay (Pallando @ TMI, Ephemeral Dale, etc)
// Version 1.0  92-11-28
//
// Watcher@TMI (93-04-10) changed it so the output is put through the
//  user's more pager system, and made the headlines stand out a bit better.
// Pallando (93-05-28) Added this command to Dead Souls's mudlib.
//                     Changed its name from "compare" to "diff"
