Thanks Padraig.

Where can i find the source code for comm command?

Also , do you have any instructions on where to download the gcc and how to install on windows / Solaris?

You might be able to use your comm with the overhead of a data copy through
some fifos or pipes with something like:

comm <(cat file1) <(cat file2)
