Does anyone have some Lisp code that does what the unix diff
utility does?  (Or a pointer to a description of the diff
algorithm?)

Thanks,

There was a thread about doing diff and patch in Lisp about a year ago
on c.l.l:

Mark Kantrowitz's Lisp Utilities contains a 'diff' in CL.  It should
still be available in the AI.Repository at CMU.
