The only one which was able to handle long lines is the CS-Diff. A few supports word wrapping, but none of them are flawless:

- KDiff3 have the functionality, but breaks the lines randomly, useless.
- WinMerge does the word wrapping good, but turning it on breaks keyboard navigation, and no word wrapping in the DiffPane.

i tested with 2 exported registrys (each 28 MB) from windows (I need the changes). No program that I have found could handle that.
CS-Diff: Runtime error
DiffDaff: no Output
Freediff: Output "binary files couldnt compare"
WinMerge: Runtime error
diff (cygwin): "Files all.reg and all_withwsus.reg differ" (great, and what is the differ ????)
I am searching again ....
I am using kdiff3 nowadays.
It does whatever I need.
Try diffvue (http://www.diffvue.com)
