Only option I can think about is writing a shell script that will use head and tail to create temporary files. something like #!/bin/sh head -n $2 $1 | tail -n $3 > /tmp/$1.tmp head -n $5 $4 | tail -n $6 > /tmp/$4.tmp diff -u /tmp/$1.tmp /tmp/$4.tmp rm /tmp/$1.tmp /tmp/$4.tmp > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
