Of the files in the rar archives, old.gro has DOS-style CRLF line endings and new.gro has UNIX-style LF line endings. After fixing this with 'recode ibmpc..latin1 old.gro', I get a more useful result out of diff (but it's still a long patch). Andreas

The difference in the files is that the old file has Windows style newlines (CR+LF: 0x0a,0x0d) while the new file has unix style end of lines (just LF 0x0a). The change was probably made by the editor you used. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline for mor information about newlines. Therefore
