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.
