There are copies of a utility called xcomm, plus a later, much more
enhanced version of the same concept called xcmalt, available via anon
ftp to tut.cis.ohio-state.edu in pub/xcomm.  It is SysV-oriented, but
is known to build and run successfully on Suns using /usr/5bin/cc, as
well as on Pyramids under the att universe.  Once upon a time, I also
built it under HP-UX, but that was several releases of HP-UX ago, and
I don't know if it would still build there.

They're also accessible via uucp to osu-cis; request
	osu-cis!~/xcomm/xcomm.tar.Z
	osu-cis!~/xcomm/xcmalt.tar.Z

I recommend xcmalt for its features and general bug-free-ness, though
in practice I use xcomm more.
