      PortSystem 1.0

      Name: fhist
      Version: 1.16
      Category: sysutils textproc devel
      Maintainers: boeyms openmaintainer
      Description: FHist: file history, comparison and merging tools
      Homepage: http://fhist.sourceforge.net/
      Platform: darwin

      Long Description: The FHist package contains 3 utilities, fhist (a file history tool that works on binary inputs), fcomp (a file comparison tool that can compare binary files byte-for-byte), and fmerge (a file merging tool). All three are bundled together because they use the same minimal-difference algorithm.
