[Kdiff3-user] Error handling "¬" (x'AC')

[John W G. Jr <JOH...@bc...>]

My source has a "¬" (x'AC') within it.
(If you can't see it here, it looks like a horizontal bar with a short
vertical descender on the right side.  Sometimes called a "Lazy J", often used
as a NOT charactor on IBM EBCDIC systems.)

Windows 2000 r5.00.2195 Service Pack 4
KDiff3 0.9.89

Comparing the following two line:

#1
               % &EXEC-DLI-REL-OPR-5 = "NE¬="
#2
               % &EXEC-DLI-REL-OPR-5 = "NE="
(The "¬" is between the NE and the " in line #1)

KDIFF3 reports that the "files have equal text but are not binary equal."  The
 KDiff3 display omits the "¬".
Other editors and applications do show the "¬".

More important, in a 3way compare/merge, Kdiff 3 neither reports the presence
of the "¬" NOR saves it in the merged output.

Am I missing a setting or option somewhere?
