UnxUtils is a collection of GNU utilities for Win32, including diff. Download UnxUtils.zip then extract to a suitable folder. Add the folder [folder]\usr\local\wbin\ to your Windows PATH variable (or invoke diff using the entire path [folder]\usr\local\wbin\diff).
HOWTO: Create patches contains information on the command line syntax.
Note: diff on Windows generates files containing CRLF line-endings. It also uses backslashes as path seperators.
To enable the use of these patches on a UNIX system, convert backslashes to forward slashes. Use a text editor or a dos2unix utility to change the end of line encoding to LF.
