Bin2Delta project (free beta)
November 23 2002
Bin2delta can create a single patch file incorporating all changes to existing file. It only stores the changes (Delta) to those files, not the entire file. This would allow any data, exe or dll file to be added to or fixed without having to download the entire file. Both bin2delta.exe and delta2bin.exe - are win32 console programs. Current version is stable beta and is free. Please, feel free to report me any bugs.
Bin2delta file format:
| Offset | Size in bytes | Description |
| 0 | 2 | D, Offset of data block start |
| 2 | 2 | L, Length of source filename |
| 4 | L | Source filename |
| 4+L | 4 | Source file CRC32 |
| 8+L | 4 | Target file CRC32 |
| D | Filesize - D | Data block in GDIFF format |

No bugs found since Nov 23 2002. I'm planning to rename "alpha" AKA "beta" version to "Release candidate" without changes soon.
