Hi philippe.socias@microresearch.be,
No. I think CD Writer allowed you to save a whole new file and would look
like it came from the CD. The point here was you only had to save the diff,
and the filesystem woud undiff the source and delta files - much less disk
space is used. Perhaps I'm wrong about CD Writer.
