-- Abstract     :  This generic package contains routines to
----------------:  compare two ASCII files. It produces as
----------------:  output a side-by-side listing of both files,
----------------:  showing their differences in a very readable
----------------:  format, and also produces an update deck which
----------------:  can be used to provide a mapping between the
----------------:  two files. This update deck is meant to be
----------------:  input for a revision control package, called
----------------:  Context_Directed_Update_Utilities.
