It's been a long time since I worked FDA, but back then a mere
"differences" file wasn't acceptable. Each change had to be traceable back
to the date it was made, to the name of the person who made it. and to the
reason it was made. Even if you could automate the compare, you"d still
have to manually tag each difference with the appropriate metadata.
