+VBinDiff (Visual Binary Diff) displays files in hexadecimal and ASCII (or
+EBCDIC). It can also display two files at once, and highlight the differences
+between them. Unlike diff, it works well with large files (up to 4 GB).
+
+VBinDiff was inspired by the Compare Files function of the ProSel utilities
+by Glen Bredon, for the Apple II. When I couldn’t find a similar utility
+for the PC, I wrote it myself.
+
+The single-file mode was inspired by the LIST utility of 4DOS and
+friends. While less provides a good line-oriented display, it has no
+equivalent to LIST’s hex display. (True, you can pipe the file through
+hexdump, but that’s incredibly inefficient on multi-gigabyte files.)
