hi there - no it does not appear to be there actually.. checked,
/bin and /usr/bin
I dont recall removing any thing from the system recently though - last compile which worked was only 3-4 weeks ago.
is this a file that i can just copy back in?
On my Slackware system, cmp is in the diffutils-2.8.1-i386-1 package. You should be able to re-install the package without any problems - just make sure the version you install is the same (or later) than the one in /var/log/packages

Thanks a million guys!!
Just manually copied the cmp file from /mnt/cdrom/slackware/ap/diffutils-2.8.1-i386-1.tgz/usr/bin
just put it in /bin like it wanted and all appears to be good again!
cheers!
