-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-11408 2008-12-17 03:34:36 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : vbindiff Product : Fedora 9 Version : 3.0 Release : 0.2.beta4.fc9 URL : http://www.cjmweb.net/vbindiff/ Summary : Visual binary diff Description : 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.
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.
