The best way was always 'dircmp'. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be a
part of the standard distributions, but you should be able to find a copy
in either 'C' or shell somewhere.
I'd write one, except I have a copy of the original AT&T System V
shellscript version (from a copy I bought lo these many years ago from
Dell for $1100...and that was a CHEAP Unix!), so I couldn't do it without
being 'contaminated'.
Cheers,
