Gcompare generates patch files for the distribution of file updates.
Gpatch applies the patches.

The patch file can contain patches for any number of files.
The file format is optimized for size - the patch files are very short.
CRC error checking provides safe operations.
The programs work with any type of files.

Do not confuse these programs with GNU patch - they are ports of the
Amiga GPatch system.

The manual directory contains HTML manuals in German and English, converted
from the original manual. Start with the file "main.html". 

For the original manual and Amiga executables look into the Aminet archive
ftp://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/util/misc/gpatch.lha

Type to extract:
gzip -dv gpatchix.tgz
tar -xvf gpatchix.tar
