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.) +EOF |
