Announcing side

    Finished off side, a little ditty that took an hour or two. It takes a filter arguement, and two file names. It then runs the two files through the filter (one at a time), and then displays the output of each beside each other. Therefore, the command:
    ./side "/home/mikal/opensource-stable/mi/i - < %s" 
       ../shdns/sample-response ../shdns/shdns-response  | less
    
    Takes two DNS packets, and displays them after they have been pretty printed. The output looks like this:
    /home/mikal/opensource-stable/mi/i - < ../shdns/sample-response        | /home/mikal/opensource-stable/mi/i - < ../shdns/shdns-response
                                                                           |

    It handles line wrapping and stuff like that, but it is not a visual diff. It might one day be, who knows?

    You can get the code from here.
