+gdiffmk is approximately a recreation of the original Bell Labs/AT&T diffmk
+command for troff/nroff documents, with enhancements.
+
+It should not be confused with 'diffmk' commands that operate on XML.
+
+The inspiration for this code was a Perl 2 version written in 1989 by Randal
+L. Schwartz.  See
+  landfield.com/software/comp.sources.misc/archive-name/volume06/diffmk.p.gz
+
+The command also attempts to reproduce some of the functionality of the old
+'nrchbar' command.  See
+  open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/ftp.isc.org/usenet/comp.sources.unix/volume10/nrchbar.Z
+
+Thanks to Werner Lemberg for help in making the package more portable and
+fit into the GNU groff source structure.
+
+Gnu diff(1) with the -Dname option does all of the work and sed(1)
+translates the output into something groff/troff/nroff can handle.
+
+Note the BUGS on the man page.
+
+The 'tests' directory contains simple tests.  'runtests run' runs them and
+compares the output against baseline files.  Calling 'runtests' without
+argument gives the usage.
