In general, it's helpful to show exactly what you typed and what the error message returned was, since the exact error message may give the answer. I suspect diff thinks your file is a binary file. I don't know why, but if the message looks like: [18:34:12] wesley:~ $ diff File2 File1 Binary files file.sav and test.sav differ that's the problem. Try, instead, $ diff -a File2 File1 which tells diff to treat them as text, no matter what its heuristic guesses. -- Alan Shutko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - I am the rocks.
