2bsd-diff 2.11 textproc =2

2.11BSD diff utility
Maintained by: risner@stdio.com

This is the original diff program from 2.11BSD.  It works better
with very large files on systems with datasize limits.

Default FreeBSD limits datasize to 524288 kbytes.  This means that
GNU diff processes that require more than this much ram will fail.
The 2.11BSD diff did not load the files in core and could operate
on considerably less ram.

Add 2bsd-diff 2.11, 2.11BSD diff utility.  It can process large
files with less memory.  GNU Diff often can not work with files
larger than 33% of datasize (from limit) due to memory exhaustion.
