Subj: 	Re: question about bdiff stat error

Sounds like maybe the wrong bdiff. Try `which bdiff` It should be 
/usr/sde/tools/alpha_OSF1/bin/bdiff.

| Dear odehelp,
| 
| I am trying to use bdiff to compare the two files: one in the backing tree
| and one in my local directory.
| 
| bdiff reports stat error, since it needs existence of 
| "signal.h,v" filename (with comma-v suffix), even though
| I am explicitely giving it the  full path-name as
| "/spec1170/sandbox/sb/sunil/signal.h".
| 
| How to make bdiff just do the diffs on its two argument files and not report 
the
| stat error (i.e. to make it stop hunting for its own-creation which is non-ex
istent ;-) )? 
| 
| thanks,
| Sunil.
