I have an NT diff.exe that accepts a binary option.  I used the latest
gnudiff source to make the file.  I don't know if that helps you.  I
just looked at the latest ediff source ("ftp.cs.sunysb.edu") and it
looks like they corrected what I just posted about 2-3 hours ago on
this list.

I am not having any problems diffing things now.  I have done diffs
with visual source safe (using a different VC method).  I looked at
some sources to merge VSS support into vc.el and vc-hooks.el, but it
seems to be based on packages before the custom interface (19.34).  I
had it half way there yesterday and then decided that I should merge
it on my Linux system at home.

In any case, I have "cmp.exe, diff.exe, diff3.exe, sdiff.exe" compiled
with mingw that I would mail to you if you like.  Or I can attempt to
diff the source, but I doubt you want to patch and recompile?!?  I
will email them to you if you like.  They are probably more current
than the cygwin stuff.

fwiw,
Bill
