BTW, COMP uses the following (known) errorlevels (verified since NWDOS 7):
 0 - usual run, even if target file not found, or files have different size
 3 - user break ^C
 4 - no files found, or source file not found, or syntax error

OS/2 COMP returns the following errorlevel:

0 - ok
1 - no files found
2 - file/dir access error
3 - user break ^C
4-  break due fault
5 - files were not equal

I have not tested the MS-DOS  errorlevels. 
Of course, OpenDOS should at least report errorlevel 5 if file are not equal...

PS: For more errorlevel have a look at the BATTIPS.TXT file from my
MPDOSTIP.ZIP package...
