unix diff with numerical precision

Hi, I search a unix utility to diff two files, that takes as argument numerical precision as well. If two files are different only in numbers and the difference is less than precision then the result as they are the same. The precision may be absolute (x1-x2) or relative (x2/x1). Also I need the...

TITLE

       Language::INTERCAL::Bytecode - intermediate language

DESCRIPTION

       The CLC-INTERCAL compiler works by producing bytecode from the program source; this bytecode can be interpreted to execute the program
       immediately; alternatively, a backend can produce something else from the bytecode, for example C or Perl source code which can then be
       compiled to your computer's native object format.

       The compiler itself is just some more bytecode. Thus, to produce the compiler you need a compiler compiler, and to produce that you need a
       compiler compiler compiler; to produce the latter you would need a compiler compiler compiler compiler, and so on to infinity. To simplify
       the programmer's life (eh?), the compiler compiler is able to compile itself, and is therefore identical to the compiler compiler compiler
       (etcetera).

       The programmer can start the process because a pre-compiled compiler compiler, in the form of bytecode, is provided with the CLC-INTERCAL
       distribution; this compiler compiler then is able to compile all other compilers, as well as to rebuild itself if need be.

       See the online manual or the HTML documentation included with the distribution for more information about this.
