When my "diff -y -w 2048 file1 file2" command gave me a "diff: extra operand" error, I checked here (http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_mono/diff.html#diff%20Options) and saw that the w needs to be capitalized. I changed the command and it worked, but the instructions shown when I enter "diff --help" incorrectly say that the width option for use with -y is the lower-case -w.
Rasmus uses diffutils version 2.7, but the latest is at least 2.8.1, and that's from 2002. I don't know if the instructions in the newer version are correct, but maybe diffutils should be upgraded.
