SUMMARY
The following FC (FILECOMPARE) command should compare file1 to file2, ignoring white space and adding line numbers to the differences report:
fc /w/n file1 file2
Blank lines should be counted when computing the reported line numbers; however, they are not counted.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS versions 4.x and 5.x. This problem was corrected in later versions of MS-DOS.
