I beg your pardon for munging your list. It should
be:
1. Open file1 and file2
2. Get both file's sizes
3. Note if file1 and file2 sizes are equal
4. Read both file's contents into memory
5. Compare content byte-by-byte, see if they con-
tain any binary characters (non-A_Z,a_z,0_9,
plus standard symbols, CR, LF, and a few oth-
ers), and if they're exactly equal/identical
6. Return the results
