_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Compares the contents of two CDF files.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     compareCdfs(pathname, other, quick=FALSE, verbose=0, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

pathname: The pathname of the first CDF file.

   other: The pathname of the seconds CDF file.

   quick: If 'TRUE', only a subset of the units are compared, otherwise
          all units are compared.

 verbose: An 'integer'. The larger the more details are printed.

     ...: Not used.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The comparison is done with an upper-limit memory usage,
     regardless of the size of the CDFs.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     Returns 'TRUE' if the two CDF are equal, otherwise 'FALSE'.  If
     'FALSE', the attribute 'reason' contains a string explaining what
     difference was detected, and the attributes 'value1' and 'value2'
     contain the two objects/values that differs.
