CMPPO (COMPARE_PPO) -- Compare person, project, or organization names.
usage:  CMPPO rgy1_path rgy2_path [-PERS|-PROJ|-ORG|-ALL]


FORMAT

  CMPPO rgy1_path rgy2_path [options]


  CMPPO compares the contents of PPO files for duplicate entries.  CMPPO reports
  names that appear in both sets of PPO files and are associated with  different
  UIDS.    Use the C (CHANGE_NAME) command in EDPPO to change duplicate names in
  one of the registries; do not delete names.

  Use CMPPO when you create a DOMAIN internet or when  you  join  networks  with
  some  network  accessories.  For  example,  you can join two Apollo Token Ring
  networks with the DOMAIN Fiber Optic Link; two  IEEE  802.3  networks  can  be
  joined  with  repeaters.  For  more  information  on  creating  internets, see
  Managing DOMAIN Internets.  For information on joining networks  with  network
  accessories, see Administering Your DOMAIN System.


ARGUMENTS

  rgy1_path
  (required)          Specify  the  pathname  of a registry to be compared.  The
                     pathname    may    be    the    master    registry     file
                     (//node/REGISTRY/RGY_MASTER),  a  node's copy of the master
                     registry file (//node/REGISTRY/REGISTRY), or simply a  node
                     entry  directory (//node).  If the pathname is a node entry
                     directory, the //node/REGISTRY/REGISTRY file is used.

  rgy2_path
  (required)         Specify the other registry to be compared.
