I did and it did not. I did it with cat -n at first and then tried nl just to see if it had some magic (as one might have guessed, no magic): there is one diff region for the whole buffer, not one per line. Nick PS. I attach the two files in case you, or somebody else, want to try it although I'm not sure the attachments are going to make it through the list unscathed.
