awk or sed?

["A. M. Varon" <andre@lasaltech.com>]

Hi,

[Sorry if this is off-topic.]

I have two files say, file1 and file2

file1 contains:            file2 contains:
alpha                      alpha                    
bravo
charlie

What I want to do is compare the two files, and delete the contents of
file1 according to file2. So, from the above, I'll have to delete the word
alpha from file1. Can it be possible using sed? or awk?

thanks,
