.SH EXAMPLES
To save to a file some changes that you have made to your local source
tree (possibly including new files), which you would like to show to others
(perhaps using the
.B send-pr(1)
program), you could type
.sp
diff -crN foo.orig foo >foo.diff
.sp
where
.I foo.orig
and
.I foo
might be directory hierarchies or single files.
