Overview
--------
Patcher allows you to create and apply patches. A patch file stores
the binary differences between two files of the same length. The
main use for Patcher is to make and apply patches to NBA Live 95
and NBA Live 96 Executable Files, but in general you can use it
to create patches between two files of the same length.
You may distribute Patcher freely, but all files inside the
package must remain unchanged. You can also distribute PATCHER.EXE
with your programs, as long as the original files remain unchanged
and credit is given where credit is due.
Usage:
------
To make a Patch, simply type:
PATCHER OldFile NewFile PatchFile
where - OldFile is the original file, for example NBA96.EXE,
- NewFile is the changed file, for example 95-96.EXE and
- PatchFile is the name of the Patch file you want to
create, for example 95-96.PAT
Please note that both OldFile and NewFile must be of the exact
same lenght.
To apply a Patch, simply type:
PATCHER OldFile PatchFile
where - OldFile is the original file, for example NBA96.EXE and
- PatchFile is the name of the file that contains the
patch data.
