	Sorry if if duplicated this posting, but I'm having a problem
	with the diff command.
	When I enter the following command:
		diff example1.f example2.f,
	all I get is some statement saying the two binary files differ.

	First, why does diff think that the two fortran code(ascii) files are
	binary?
	Also, why does diff not list out the differences?

	Any explanation of this problem (probably my UNIX ignorance) would
	be appreciated.
