I believe your program would work equally well with logical or physical files.

CMPPFM requires type PF files. Type LF is not supported.

Especially for a multi-format LF, I don’t see much chance of using a generic tool. It seems reasonable that one could be created, but I wouldn’t expect that anyone ever needed it. (I can’t recall the last time I saw a multi-format LF, though I’m sure they’re still used here and there.)

Since LFs are built over PFs, the PFs might as well be compared. As long as the LF definitions match their selections and formats, the PF data is what’s important.
