diff 1.0-1 appears empty

[Damon Muller]

Just a question about the latest update to diff (on 13 May 2002 9:29 PM, 
mirror ftp://ftp.nas.nasa.gov/mirrors/cygwin.com/pub/cygwin/release/diff/, 
appears similiar on main ftp://cygwin.com/ site, too).

Looks like a size of 46 bytes works out to no files in the archive.  Is this 
a known problem?

Thanks

Damon,

They did that on purpose for backwards compatibility.  It's a placeholder
and the "real" diff is located in the "diffutils" package.

Cheers,
Nicholas

P.S. - You ever thought of porting realplayer to cygwin ;)?
