diffstat 1.28

Add -c option (to prefix output with '#' comment), eliminating a step
in my script that combines diffstat output with a patch.  This is a
workaround for OSF1's broken sed utility.

Check for compressed file suffixes .Z and .gz, read uncompressed data
via pipe (Debian wishlist item #53975 by ch@lathspell.westend.com).

Simplified makefile based on comments by M Sweger
<mikesw@whiterose.net>

Adapted changes from Troy Engel <tengel@sonic.net> as "-f" option.

diffstat 1.27

Debian diff's don't show dates on the lines where we expect to see
filenames.

Patch 5 (16-Jan-1998)
diffstat 1.26

Change copyright terms.

 Accommodate patches w/o tabs in header lines (e.g., from cut/paste).
Still prefer the tabs because otherwise we cannot have spaces in
filenames.

 Strip suffixes such as ".orig", to avoid confusing output.

Patch 4 (16-Mar-1996)
diffstat 1.24

Corrected state-transition after "Binary".

Added testing subdirectory

Added -p option.

Handle differences from /tmp (e.g., for X11R5 patches).

Patch 3 (06-May-1995)

Repost whole program to comp.sources.misc (1.17)

Mods to scaling: limit to 1:1 if only a few changes were made; added
logic to accumulate error across +/-/!  calls.

added logic to recognize 'rcsdiff -u' output.

Patch 2 (26-Dec-1994)

Strip common pathname prefix (1.15)

Patch 1 (13-Nov-1994)

Test for <string.h> vs <strings.h>

Corrected error in 'match()' that didn't handle properly the case when
an argument was a null string (i.e., blank lines in a unified diff).

Added options '-n' and '-V'

Added patchlev.h, CHANGES files.

Added install.sh, for autoconf 2.1


Patch 0 (13-Jun-1994)

Initial version of 'diffstat' (1.12).
