Understanding a diff file
Hi folks,
I am having difficulties in understanding diff file.
I would like to know what the following means in a diff file
ex:
202a251,253
1,102c120,126
I believe 'a' will be 'append'. Line 202 appended to line 251. but why there is 253 ???.
Like the above if any one can tell me how to understand these, it will be helpful.
Any links to useful websites that explains how to interpret diff file will be also enough. thanks.

Hi,
svn diff does not work very well with 2 local folders, so I am trying to do this diff using diff locally.

ZDIFF(1) General Commands Manual ZDIFF(1)
NAME
zcmp, zdiff - compare compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zcmp [ cmp_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
zdiff [ diff_options ] file1 [ file2 ]
DESCRIPTION
Zcmp and zdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on files compressed via gzip. All options specified are passed directly to
cmp or diff. If only file1 is specified, it is compared to the uncompressed contents of file1.gz. If two files are specified, their con-
tents (uncompressed if necessary) are fed to cmp or diff. The input files are not modified. The exit status from cmp or diff is pre-
served.
SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), zmore(1), zgrep(1), znew(1), zforce(1), gzip(1), gzexe(1)
BUGS
Messages from the cmp or diff programs may refer to file names such as "-" instead of to the file names specified.
