SYNOPSIS
match [ -flags ][ -ver ] [style-file1 [style-file2 ...]
DESCRIPTION
Match collates selected variables from tables produced by
the style(1) command and prints values from the different
files one below the other for easy comparison. The style-
files must contain tables produced by style.
Match can also run on one file to produce an abbreviated
version of the style table.
When comparing texts, it is advisable to use texts of simi-
lar length.
Two options give information about the program:
-flags print the command synopsis line (see above)
showing command flags and options, then exit.
-ver print the Writer's Workbench version number of
the command, then exit.
USES
This program is useful for visually inspecting similarities
and differences among stylistic features of different docu-
ments or drafts and their revisions.
