Output dialog box.
The results describe the differences about certain components such as
processes and threads in the NetConfig formatted files.
For example, The new site has thread(s) not in
the old: conn_1.
If you compare with the NetConfig file of the site, then "new" indicates
the current NetConfig formatted file. "old" indicates the NetConfig formatted
file specified by baseNetConfig.
If a comparison is performed between two NetConfig formatted files, then
the result uses terms such as "first NetConfig" and "second NetConfig" instead
of "old" and "new." The first file indicates the formatted file specified by
baseNetConfig. The second file indicates the formatted
file specified by [anotherNetConfig].
This applies to both command line and dialog box mode.
