Difference between files

I looking for the alhgoritm for compating two files, showing new and erased chars/lines. The same as calling 'diff' does.
I need a working soultion for Delphi.

Have a look at FreeVCS - it has a good diff-style utility. http://www.freevcs,org

nope, it's dll based.
But you could get the source code for their utility from there I think.
what kind of comparing are you needing? I do not know the  'diff'  program.  You could just run through both files and see if any bytes are not the same, however if you want to compare the (I guess text) file data to find chunks that  may have been removed, it can get kind of complicated
