    Here is the output of `diff -c lao tzu' ( Sample diff Input,
 for the complete contents of the two files).  Notice that up to three
 lines that are not different are shown around each line that is
 different; they are the context lines.  Also notice that the first two
 hunks have run together, because their contents overlap.

      - The Way that can be told of is not the eternal Way;
      - The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
        The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth;
      ! The Named is the mother of all things.
        Therefore let there always be non-being,
          so we may see their subtlety,
        And let there always be being,

        The two are the same,
        But after they are produced,
          they have different names.
      + They both may be called deep and profound.
      + Deeper and more profound,
      + The door of all subtleties!
