[BTW, you shouldn't be using the textutils package anymore.
It has been superseded by the Coreutils package (which also
includes sh-utils and fileutils packages).

Thanks for the suggestion.
With the CVS sources, you get this:
Usage: comm [OPTION]... FILE1 FILE2
Compare sorted files FILE1 and FILE2 line by line.
With no options, produce three-column output. Column one contains
lines unique to FILE1, column two contains lines unique to FILE2,
and column three contains lines common to both files.
-1 suppress lines unique to FILE1
-2 suppress lines unique to FILE2
-3 suppress lines that appear in both files
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
