It will only be useful when you have the source code of both programs (and of
course Deep <9> didn't have any published source code).

Many CS undergrads tend to plagiarize others' source codes instead of doing
their own programming. It is unbelievably easy to beat the traditional
plagiarism detectors (e.g., MOSS from Berkeley), so I wrote this handy program
which is fairly hard to beat.

I received many complaints from lecturers all over the world criticizing me for
making the program available publicly so that the students can use it also. But
I believe that the time they will spend to beat this analyzer will be more than
that of doing the program by themselves at first place.
