| .SH NAME | |
| mcomp \- Compares two files using mtools | |
| .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| .\" The command line | |
| .B mcomp | |
| .I file-on-floppy | |
| .I local-file | |
| .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| .B mcomp | |
| compares two files, the first one must be on a floppy disk so it can | |
| be accessed via \fBmtools\fR. | |
| It is not strictly necessary on Debian GNU/Linux, because the diffutils | |
| \fBcmp\fR(1) program provides the same capability after copying the | |
| file locally with | |
| .B mcopy | |
| .I file | |
| .I destination | |
| but this utility is provided in the mtools package for other platforms and | |
| is retained here for completeness. | |
