You might try the program Compare.  Version 0.9 is available from 
sumex-aim.stanford.edu in the info-mac/util directory.  I think the
file name is compare-09.hqx.  There is another program in the same 
directory called compare-all-11.hqx that also compares the contents
of two files.  The information for one of these programs references
a program called TextDiff, but I did not see it at sumex.  Hope this
helps.
