That's correct; the files may of arbitrary size.  You can also 
compare arbitrary portions of the files.  Consider two files with
sections as given below:
	file 1:		a x b y c
	file 2:		d x e y f
You can change the screen such that the common sections x and y are
shown as matching (try the OA key).  Sections a - f can be of arbitrary
(including zero) length.
