One can show the differences, by comparing the internal representation of t= he lisp code tree of 2 versions. I saw this idea for the C code here: http:= //www.cs.umd.edu/~mwh/papers/evolution.pdf . An advantage of this method would be to report only one when the name of a = variable changes. This method will also ignore to report the null-effect ch= aracters like blanks or empty new lines. diff reports everything. What do you think, it would be useful such a tool to make reports of lisp c= ode changes? Maybe I will try it, but it might be _realy_ useful? ____________________________________________________ Avant de prendre le volant, rep=C3=A9rez votre itin=C3=A9raire et visualise= z le trafic ! http://itineraire.voila.fr/itineraire.html
