I actually wrote up a (much longer and more detailed) suggestion of vbindiff in response to your original post, but decided not to send it, because vbindiff misses at least two of the points from your original list of criteria and I wasn't (and still am not) in the mood to be snapped at condescendingly for ignoring provided specs. I'm glad that, this time at least, you seem to be OK with something that just hits most of the desired points. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
