Re: numeric difference program

Fortran comrades:

I know there's a program available that will allow you to compare two
files that contain almost entirely numbers. Unlike the normal diff
utility, the user can specify the accuracy with which he or she would
like the numbers in the files to agree, and the program will report only
instances where they do not.

Could someone tell me the name of this program and where I can obtain it.

Thanks for your attention.

ndiff and numdiff both perform this job.

I remember having problems building ndiff (can't remember what now -
perhaps a dependency?) and then being pleasently suprised that numdiff
worked well and was very easy to build. I don't know how the advanced
features compare between the two, but numdiff got the job done easily
for me.
