I need to compare two 70 MB files to see if they're different.  If I use diff 
(Windows 2000, either of two different diff versions), the memory usage 
balloons up to around 140MB, as if it was loading both files into memory.  This 
can be a problem on the computer I want to use it on, as there's not always 
140MB of free memory available.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to deal with this?
Suggestions like "Try this command-line option" or "Use this other program" 
[preferably open-source] or "read the following website" are welcome.
Suggestions like "get more memory" are, well...
