        !             4: The options -e and -f generate edit scripts that can be used to
        !             5: regenerate one file from the other. In these scripts, groups of text lines
        !             6: following the a (add) and c (change) commands are terminated with a
        !             7: line consisting of a single '.'. This is a botch. I added a new option, -n,
        !             8: which works like -f, except that groups of text lines are not terminated
        !             9: with '.'. Instead, the number of text lines is given in the command itself.
