Running a diff on all pairs of arguments
I would like to create a loop and an inner loop to do a diff command on each pair of files passed as arguments. For example, if four files were on the command line, a diff would run on 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, & 3-4. Thus far I know the $# will give the count of the arguments and argv (instead of shift) would be used to refer to each argument, but I don't know how to define or modify variables which would be used as subscripts.
TIA

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.
