Thank you for the hints!
The solution was:
The RCS package in ftp://ftp.leo.org/pub/comp/os/os2/gnu/devtools/
comes with with an enhancede version of "diff", which can compare files
in the DOS- and the UNIX-Style. The "diff" in CygWin can't do that.
After changing the sequence in my PATH enviroment variable all works
well.
I must confess, that there was a hint in the documentation of the
RCS-package, but I understood it only after reading your hints.
Thank you!
