Compare various aspects of two tables to see if they are equivalent


Description
A tablecomparer tool compares various aspects of two tables to see if they are equivalent. Currently, attributes that can be compared include column names, column keyword names, column values, and table keyword names. When checking the values of the column data, a tolerance can be specified on a per column basis and/or a per column type (i.e., float, double, complex, or dcomplex) basis. Currently only absolute tolerances can be specified. The user can also specify whether tests should be run on subtables as well as the main tables.
