I need a file comparison utility that simply tells me whether or not two files are the same. Ideally, when it finds that the files differ it would just quit and display its results, rather than continuing through the entire file.
Normally, I use the built-in Windows file compare in binary mode. This is fine for doing one file at a time in the console, as I can Ctrl-C out of it when it starts spitting out byte differences. But you can't really script it to do several file compares, since the output grows into the mega or gigabytes.
Ideas?
