Question diff on c-source file always returns "files differ"

I have a c-source file that is evidently seen by unix as a binary file. When doing a diff between it and older versions with substantial differences, diff will only return "files differ".

I have tried cat-ing the file to another file; tried using the "-h" on the diff; I have tried ftp-ing it back and forth as ascii; I have played with chmod; I have tried using dos2unix... no matter what I do I can't get Unix to see the file as a text file.


Anybody seen this before... and have a solution?
