Hey all,


        I know this is an old question that has been asked for years and
years. My problem is that I have to make my own program grader for C
and C++ programs in a unix environment. This isn't the hard part, the
part that I can't get any info on is a program that can compare 2
programs. I need two types of comparison programs. One type of
program is a program that can compare content, I know, there is
probrably a command in unix for this, but I have no clue what it is.
I also need a program that will compare structure. I know Berkeley
and others have made one, but I can't find it for the life of me. If
any of you can please help me out, that'll be cool.

tell you how similar two independently written programs are, it's news
to me. -John]
