One could do DIFF/OUTPUT=NL: and check $STATUS. The successfull exit
statuses from DIFFERENCES are (in decimal):
SAMEFILE = 7110665
FILAREDIF = 7110675
These are not in any header I could find but tested out to be the same on
VAX and Alpha, VMS 6.x and 7.x. I know this because I made GNU diff on VMS
exit with the same values.

How about DIFERENCES?
