They must be using a custom version or something strange like that. The TAB is placed there by the routine 'print_context_label()' in context.c, you can view the CVS history at http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/diffutils/src/context.c?root=diffutils&view=log and it's been right there since version 1.1, seventeen years ago (see line 46). So AFAICT GNU diff has /always/ done this. cheers, DaveK -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
