If you just want to know whether the files are the same or not,
use a byte comparison program. Unix has the utility cmp which
will tell you the location of the first byte which is different.
Undoubtedly there is a freeware DOS version available.
DOS had (and command prompt under NT still has) a similar
utility, though not as good: comp.
You could always run a CRC program against the files. There is
almost no chance a cyclic redundancy check calculation would
come out the same for different files.
There is a good Windows hex editor which includes a neat file
comparison function: WinHex. It's shareware, see
