The version of "fc" that was distributed with MS-DOS 2.11 for the DEC Rainbow accepts the "/b" switch to make it compare binary files byte-for-byte. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!dhesi

All the versions of "fc" I've ever used (with MS-DOS 2.11 up through 3.31 and OS/2) let you specify "/b" to compare binary files. ----------------------------------------- Bill Frolik Hewlett-Packard hplabs!hp-pcd!bill Corvallis, Oregon
