 Replying to [comment:10 Tanaris4]:
 > I have IDA Pro on OS X and am happy to help, but don't have a license to
 BinDiff, is there another plugin/addon that can be used?

 See instructions in the ticket description. I've updated them a couple of
 times, and they should now cover this. If they don't please ask for
 specific clarification.

 > I have used Patch2Diff but I realize that just shows difference in
 functions vs. raw opcode changes etc...

 Awesome. If you get to this point, you're ahead of the curve. Please just
 tell us offsets of the differences. I can take it from there.

 If you're not at that point yet, just post a binary somewhere. Every that
 would save us precious time.
