NAME

       mcomp - Compares two files using mtools

SYNOPSIS

       mcomp file-on-floppy local-file

DESCRIPTION

       mcomp  compares two files, the first one must be on a floppy disk so it
       can be accesed via mtools.  It is  not  strictly  necessary  on  Debian
       GNU/Linux,  because  the  diffutils  cmp(1)  program  provides the same
       capability after copying the file locally with

       mcopy file destination

       but this utility is provided in the mtools package for other  platforms
       and is retained here for completeness.
