SOUP, for some reason, refers to the programs CAM and FED[*]. CAM stands
for "Compare And Merge" and compares two files, producing a difference
file that can then be processed by FED (File EDit) to recreate one file
from the other.
SOUP COMMANDS
To produce a correction file:
.R CAM
*cor-file,list-file,log-file ← old-files-device:,new-files-device:
↑
If file-name specified,single-file mode assumed.
To merge two correction files:
.R CAM
*merged-cor-file,list-file,log-file ← ,first-cor-file,second-cor-file
↑
Note presence of comma
To produce an updated file:
.R FED
*new-files-dev:,list-files-dev:,log-file ← old-files-dev:,cor-file
Switches:
CAM:
/I suppress incrementing numeric extension
/P type command string as it is read
/n=number (number = 1 to 9) set number of lines required
for a match (default is 3)
("xxx") cause code xxx to be placed on every header line
of the correction file
FED:
/X selects srccom-like listing of changes made (if list-file
specified)
/H causes listing file (without /X) to have a header and be
page formatted.
/T inserts timings in log-file
/Z ↑Z is recognized as end of cor-file regardless of what follows
/P same as CAM
("xxx") causes code xxx to be placed on each new line in list-file
(if /X not used)
