R help - Apr 2007 - comparing two matrices, row by row

Estimated people,
 
 I have two matrices:
 
 ar1 <- array(data=c(1:16),dim=c(4,4))
 ar2 <- array(data=c(1,2,3,3,5:16),dim=c(4,4))
 
 They only differ in the fourth row. I would like to compare them in order to
know which columns are equal.
 
 The following works, but I would like to have a better solution, and not to use
what someone called "prehistorical loops":
 
 for(i in c(1:4)) { cat(as.character(i),": ",
as.character(setequal(ar1[i,],ar2[i,])), "\n") }
 1 :  TRUE
 2 :  TRUE
 3 :  TRUE
 4 :  FALSE
 
 I cannot devise how to use the apply function for this.
 Thanks a lot,
 Federico
