[Gllug] Comm

[Steve Cobrin]

They were sorted in numeric order.

meanwhile I've re-implemented the test with
	diff file1 file2 | grep '^#' | sed -e 's/^< //'

I'll try and ask on the gnu mailing list. I even checked the online 
docs at http://www.opengroup.org/online-pubs which gives a slightly more 
complete man page for "comm", and in theory "comm -23 file1 file2" should 
behave as the above diff version. <sigh>

Anyway I now have a more serious problem to deal with :-(

Cheers
