Or you may have a nonstandard diff.exe: the --help for my GNU diff (version 2.8.7) makes no mention of a --binary argument.Perhaps I need an upgrade: [c:\pad]diff --version diff - GNU diffutils version 2.7 Since this is also located in my $vimruntime, I assume it was packed with the original 7.0 for Windows. BTW, it is clearly Vim providing that --binary flag - something about the old ctrl-z stuff, in the first versions of DOS, possibly ending the process early.
If it came packaged with Vim, it ought to be compatible; however I don't remember a diff utility in Bram's "standard" W32 installers. Steve Hall's might be better though.
If you look for an upgrade, I recommend the GnuWin32 project on sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32
Best regards, Tony.
