Re^3: Compare Binary Files

I have a cmp command on my windows system. There is also the comp command which has been available on all versions of windows:

C:\test>cmp
cmp: missing operand
cmp: Try `cmp --help' for more information.

C:\test>comp /?
Compares the contents of two files or sets of files.

COMP [data1] [data2] [/D] [/A] [/L] [/N=number] [/C] [/OFF[LINE]]

  data1      Specifies location and name(s) of first file(s) to compar
+e.
  data2      Specifies location and name(s) of second files to compare
+.
  /D         Displays differences in decimal format.
  /A         Displays differences in ASCII characters.
  /L         Displays line numbers for differences.
  /N=number  Compares only the first specified number of lines in each
+ file.
  /C         Disregards case of ASCII letters when comparing files.
  /OFF[LINE] Do not skip files with offline attribute set.

To compare sets of files, use wildcards in data1 and data2 parameters.

have a cmp command on my windows system. Because you installed it? At least the DOS-based Windows versions (1.x, 2.x, 3.x, 95, 98, ME), Windows 2000 and Windows XP lack a cmp command after a fresh installation.
