  CONTENTS:

    This tool reads two LIDAR files in LAS format and checks whether they are
    identical. Both the standard header, the variable header, and all points
    are checked.

  CHANGE HISTORY:

    7 September 2018 -- replaced calls to _strdup with calls to the LASCopyString macro
    13 July 2017 -- added missing checks for LAS 1.4 EVLR size and payloads
    18 August 2015 -- fixed report for truncated files (fewer or more points)
    11 September 2014 -- added missing checks for LAS 1.4 files and points
    27 July 2011 -- added capability to create a difference output file
    2 December 2010 -- updated to merely warn when the point scaling is off
    12 March 2009 -- updated to ask for input if started without arguments
    17 September 2008 -- updated to deal with LAS format version 1.2
    11 July 2007 -- added more complete reporting about differences
    23 February 2007 -- created just before getting ready for the cabin trip
