name
   difint: differences between integers

synopsis
   difint(input: in, output: out);

files
   input: a set of integers, one per line.
       Lines that begin with "*" are ignored.

   output: the difference between each integer and the previous one.

describe
   Lines that begin with an asterisk ('*') are first copied to the output.
   then the difference between each integer in input and the previous one is
   given to the output.

technical notes
   The program originally acted as if the integer before the first one is zero,
   but this creates artifacts.  The initial data point is now dropped.  However,
   data often comes separate into chunks.  This is marked by the comments.
   So the program resets everytime there is a comment line.

bugs
   none known
