`nb`	an object of class `nb` with a list of integer vectors containing neighbour region number ids.
`file`	name of file with GAL lattice data
`oldstyle`	if TRUE, first line of file contains only number of spatial units, if FALSE, uses newer GeoDa style

col.gal.nb <- read.gal(system.file("weights/columbus.gal", package="spData")[1])
GALfile <- tempfile("GAL")
write.nb.gal(col.gal.nb, GALfile)
col.queen <- read.gal(GALfile)
summary(diffnb(col.queen, col.gal.nb))
