COLLATE.EXE     (c) Center for the Computer Analysis of Texts 1990

COLLATE allows you to compare the contents of two text files and place 
the results in a third output file.  Each time COLLATE finds a
difference between the current lines it will stop and show what it has
found.  At that point you may press the space bar (or any non-option key) 
to continue to the next difference, or you may press one of the option 
keys outlined below to change COLLATE's operation in some way.  As the 
two files are compared, the program displays the current line numbers for 
each of the input files in the window at the top, next to the file's 
name.  Asterisked options may be specified from the command line 
proceeded by a "/" or a "-".  E.g. "COLLATE f1 f2 out -t /p"

*p = COLLATE will show you a screen full of mismatches before pausing
*i = COLLATE shows you only one mismatch at a time
*b = COLLATE will not pause between mismatches
*s = You will be allowed to specify a number of lines to skip in one file
 1 or 2 = One line will be skipped from either file #1 or file #2
*t = All lines will be trimmed of trailing spaces before comparison
 h = You will be shown this help screen
