st: compare files via merge

Hello,
Does anyone know of a program to compare files, in the spirit of
-cf-, but where...
they might not have the same number of observations
they need to be matched on a key set of variables
?
I am using Stata 10, so I know that one possible answer is that such
a program is part of standard Stata 11,12,or 13.
I was considering writing such a program, but wanted to not spend the
effort if it has already been done.
(A quick search did not yield anything I thought was useful.)
Thanks
--David
