+/*	diff - differential file comparison
+*
+*	Uses an algorithm due to Harold Stone, which finds
+*	a pair of longest identical subsequences in the two
+*	files.
+*
+*	The major goal is to generate the match vector J.
+*	J[i] is the index of the line in file1 corresponding
+*	to line i file0. J[i] = 0 if there is no
+*	such line in file1.
+*
+*	Lines are hashed so as to work in core. All potential
+*	matches are located by sorting the lines of each file
+*	on the hash (called value). In particular, this
+*	collects the equivalence classes in file1 together.
+*	Subroutine equiv replaces the value of each line in
+*	file0 by the index of the first element of its 
+*	matching equivalence in (the reordered) file1.
+*	To save space equiv squeezes file1 into a single
+*	array member in which the equivalence classes
+*	are simply concatenated, except that their first
+*	members are flagged by changing sign.
+*
+*	Next the indices that point into member are unsorted into
+*	array class according to the original order of file0.
+*
+*	The cleverness lies in routine stone. This marches
+*	through the lines of file0, developing a vector klist
+*	of "k-candidates". At step i a k-candidate is a matched
+*	pair of lines x,y (x in file0 y in file1) such that
+*	there is a common subsequence of lenght k
+*	between the first i lines of file0 and the first y 
+*	lines of file1, but there is no such subsequence for
+*	any smaller y. x is the earliest possible mate to y
+*	that occurs in such a subsequence.
+*
+*	Whenever any of the members of the equivalence class of
+*	lines in file1 matable to a line in file0 has serial number 
+*	less than the y of some k-candidate, that k-candidate 
+*	with the smallest such y is replaced. The new 
+*	k-candidate is chained (via pred) to the current
+*	k-1 candidate so that the actual subsequence can
+*	be recovered. When a member has serial number greater
+*	that the y of all k-candidates, the klist is extended.
+*	At the end, the longest subsequence is pulled out
+*	and placed in the array J by unravel.
+*
+*	With J in hand, the matches there recorded are
+*	check'ed against reality to assure that no spurious
+*	matches have crept in due to hashing. If they have,
+*	they are broken, and "jackpot " is recorded--a harmless
+*	matter except that a true match for a spuriously
+*	mated line may now be unnecessarily reported as a change.
+*
+*	Much of the complexity of the program comes simply
+*	from trying to minimize core utilization and
+*	maximize the range of doable problems by dynamically
+*	allocating what is needed and reusing what is not.
+*	The core requirements for problems larger than somewhat
+*	are (in words) 2*length(file0) + length(file1) +
+*	3*(number of k-candidates installed),  typically about
+*	6n words for files of length n.
