Not xcode itself, but programming tools related, so I hope this is the right mailing list to ask.

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 interpreting the files as text and displaying garbage. The command-line UNIX "diff" tool seems to be essentially a text tool, corresponding to MPW's "CompareFiles" rather than to "Equal."
