The correct name of the project appears to be "jojodiff", as used on the homepage, in the sourceforge URL, and Arch repository

vbindiff not able to add/delete byte, only can edit existing byte.

But, as Mark Ransom said, that would be generally not wise on compressed files; the exception is "synchronizable" compressed formats (like that produced by gzip --rsyncable), in which small differences in the uncompressed files should have a limited effect on the compressed file. | |
| Aug 5, 2015 at 3:12 | comment | added | Mark Ransom | @DanielBeauyat compressed files will be completely different after you encounter the first different byte. The output is not likely to be useful. | |

| Oct 17, 2012 at 14:22 | comment | added | Janus Troelsen | I prefer VBinDiff. DHEX is using CPU even when idling, I think it's redrawing all the time or something. VBinDiff doesn't work with wide terminals though. But the addresses become weird with wide terminals anyway, since you have more than 16 bytes per row. | |
| Sep 8, 2011 at 0:08 | comment | added | Marcin | DHEX is awesome is comparing binaries is what you want to do. Feed it two files and it takes you right to a comparative view, highlighting to differences, with easy ability to move to the next difference. Also it's able to work with large terminals, which is very useful on widescreen monitors. | |
