| 21 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 22 | .B mcomp |
| 23 | compares two files, the first one must be on a floppy disk so it can |
| 24 | be accessed via \fBmtools\fR. |
| 25 | It is not strictly necessary on Debian GNU/Linux, because the diffutils |
| 26 | \fBcmp\fR(1) program provides the same capability after copying the |
| 27 | file locally with |
| 28 | |

| 32 | |
| 33 | but this utility is provided in the mtools package for other platforms and |
| 34 | is retained here for completeness. |
