GPatch Version 3 completed
The 68k version 3 of the patch system GPatch has finally been completed and put on Aminet.
There have been many improvements over the previous version:
New search algorithms, new coding methods, easier execution of the patch. And
for those who don't know it yet: GPatch is the only program of its kind with
the ability to combine any number of difference data in one patch file in order
to automatically update different older versions of a program to the newest one.
And - to demonstrate that the program is really worthy of a news item - the
readme contains a comparison of different update variants of a real program
(AWeb 3.2 and 3.3 to 3.4). Just briefly the result: The classic approach with
scompare takes 1:28 minutes to create 277258 bytes (compressed), GCompare 3
on the other hand takes 0:59 minutes to create 163593 bytes.
