help with .pof file!

Is there a way to figure out if two .pof files are the same??

    Start the NIOS II IDE shell (aka Cygwin terminal) and use diff. For example, here's what I did in a bemicro_sdk project build area 

    
$ diff -Naur --brief bemicro_sdk.pof bemicro_sdk.sof 
Files bemicro_sdk.pof and bemicro_sdk.sof differ
$ cp bemicro_sdk.pof bemicro_sdk2.pof
$ diff -Naur --brief bemicro_sdk.pof bemicro_sdk2.pof

    There is no output when the files are the same.

    Cheers,
