+
+DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PURI and NET.URI
+------------------------------------

 
 

+* Puri uses the package 'puri while NET.URI uses the package 'net.uri

 
 

+* To signal an error parsing a URI, Puri uses the condition
+  :uri-parse-error while NET.URI uses the condition :parse-error. This
+  divergence occurs because Franz's parse-error condition uses
+  :format-control and :format-arguments slots which are not in the ANSI
+  specification for the parse-error condition.
