What do I used for a binary diff, like MPW's "Equal?"

Also posted to the xcode list; not sure where I should ask, apologies to those reading both lists.

In the MPW environment, the tool for comparing binary files is the "Equal" command; in Windows, it's "fc" with the /B option.

What's the appropriate Mac OS X tool for comparing binary files?

(filemerge.app doesn't seem to be at all well suited for this, it insists on interpreting the files as text and displaying garbage. And the command-line UNIX "diff" tool seems to be essentially a text tool, corresponding to MPW's "CompareFiles" rather than to "Equal.") _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
