[h-e-w] Problem using --eval

[Konrad, Doug]

I'm trying to use ediff in emacs from WinCVS to compare two versions of a
file. It didn't take too long with Google to find people who have done this
successfully using --eval, as in:

        emacs --eval=(ediff-files "version1" "version2")

where version1 and version2 are the actual file names on disk. However, I
get the following messages:

(u:\emacs\emacs-21.3\bin\emacs.exe --eval=(ediff-files "emacs-diff.pl"
"emacs-diff.pl"))
Loading u:/emacs/nxml-mode-20031031/rng-auto.el (source)...done
Loading regexp-opt...done

command-line-1: End of file during parsing

I found the following reference, which suggests that I'm not the only one
having this problem:
