I think this would only work if you can be sure that the line endings  
in the text files are unix style (numToChar(10)). If, for example,  
the file had crlf as line endings, they would be converted when  
opening as a file, but not as a binfile. The comparison would fail  
even though it was a text file. (Not tested, so please give it a try.)
