COMPARE: InterLisp Source Comparison Tool

lang/lisp/code/tools/src_cmp/ilisp/
COMPARESOURCES is an Interlisp program for comparing two versions of a Lisp source file for differences. The comparison is completely brute-force: COMPARESOURCES reads the complete contents of both files, and compares all the expressions for differences. Note that this code is very much dependent on Interlisp, since it uses the DWIMIFY function for cleaning up the functions before comparison. On the other hand, it does provide a Lispish form-by-form comparison that avoids differences in indentation. So it might be useful to port this code to Common Lisp someday. In its current form, it really isn't usable.
