                Have they removed the 'COMPARE' option from FCOPY ? ;-)

                This only works though when the EOFs are the same. If the
files contain the same data then the FCOPY will work, errors will be
generated if there is a mis-match in data.

                Caution: If the from file contains x records and the to file
contains x+ records - and - the first x records in each file are the same
then the compare option does not error

                All the above is from memory - and it can fail me sometimes.

                        Does anyone know of a utility to compare the
contents of two files to
                        see if they are the same?

                        Thanks,
