+gdiffmk is approximately a recreation of the original Bell Labs/AT&T diffmk
+command for troff/nroff documents, with enhancements.
+
+It should not be confused with diffmk commands that operate on XML.
+
+The inspiration for this code was a Perl 2 version written in 1989 by Randal L.
+Schwartz. Thanks to Werner Lemberg for help in making the package more
+portable and fit into the GNU groff source structure.
+
+http://www.landfield.com/software/comp.sources.misc/archive-name/volume06/diffmk.p.gz
+
+Gnu diff(1) with the -Dname option does all of the work and sed(1) translates
+the output into something groff/troff/nroff can handle.
+
+Note the BUGS on the man page.
