FILECOMP — confronto nativo QLCF

Three 256-byte fixtures: identical files reported 0 errors; differences at offsets 0, 127 and 255 reported 3; identical bytes with different type/data space reported EN-TETE DIFFERENTS. Original executable and assembly preserved; no header-comparison correction was needed. Native French implementation aborts on header mismatch, distinct from installed BASIC FileCompare with individual field checks and a continue prompt. Long files, cancellation and I/O errors untested. Documented functional check, not full validation. ROMs not included.
