Try SUPERC.  Originally written internally at IBM, then marketed as part
of the Personally Developed Software line (good if informal software at
decent prices), and then sold to an independent mail-order house ("Personally
Developed Software") which alas has never solicited similar offerings beyond
what was purchased from IBM.  The price in the last PDS catalog I have is
$14.95.  Phone number is 1-800-IBM-PCSW (1-800-426-7279).  I have no idea
if they're still in business.

SUPERC isn't perfect, but it does a good job of both binary and line-mode
comparisons, and can detect line insertions and deletions as well.
