I'm using tla 1.2 on Mac OX 10.3.3.

Google search didn't bring anything useful. Any idea what went wrong?
tla uses diff to determine whether files are binary or not. Apparently, diff considers a file to be binary if it contains the ASCII NUL character (0x00). Is it possibly a UTF-16 file? Those files usually contain a byte-order mark, which contains an 0x00, IIRC.
