Hello,

I've got 2 simple questions that some of you more experienced Unix gurus
may be able to help me with..

1) Is there a way to get an Xterm to notice that it has been resized? If
~ I start an Xterm and then maximise it it sometimes completely mangles
input lines that would have been too long for the un-maximised Xterm.
It's hard to describe; if you don't see what I'm on about I'll try and
write a better description.

The other problem:
2) I have 2 text files each containing a list of files. (say txt1 and
txt2). All files in txt1 are also in txt2, but there are files in txt2
that are not in txt1. I want to be able to separate out the files which
do not appear in both.. What is the best way?

Diff doesn't seem to do it (unless there is some weird combination of
parameters that makes it work?).

I could implement a solution myself, but everytime I've done that in the
past without asking around it always turns out there's some bizarre
binary with a name made of consonants that does exactly what I wanted ;)

Cheers,

Andy
