--- Comment #2 from Steve Riches <sriche...@gmail.com> --- OK I just opened compare.doc with Kwrite and can see tons of control characters - not exactly binary - but I hear you. You must get a lot of reports like mine. I would suggest modifying that terse message I received when running Kompare to say something like your own msg to me or comparing apples to oranges or something like that. Thanks for your response.
