Publisher's description
From Clickteam :The life of a software product is usually marked by the release of different versions. One version differs from the previous one by a small number of changes. Some sections of code in the executable files are different, new files may be added, some even deleted. What the author of the product usually does, is provide a new version of the files either as a new re-installable product or just the modified files, compressed. The above procedure is very wasteful though. For example, if a file of 1Mg has only had say 10Kb altered within it, then why create an update patch that requires the full 1Mb. It would be far more efficient if just the altered data were used. Well this is the purpose of Patch Maker. This utility saves a huge amount of bytes by storing just the differences between files and even compressing this data.
CNET Editor's Note: The freeware version of this program displays 1 advertisement at the end of the patching for Clickteam. You can purchase the registered version to remove the advertisement.

Version: Patch Maker 1.2
"Works great, allows you to update .exe automaticly"
Pros: Great solution for anyone who wants to make modifications and small or large program updates. Easy to use interface. Can make a patch in only a few minutes.
Cons: Small ad at the end of the patch. Not bad though for a powerful free program.

Version: Patch Maker 1.2
"A must have in your developer toolbox."
Pros: Easy to use and easy to apply patches for your software. No messy management software needed. This software is all you need for creating patches.
Also, you can create a template file and use it over and over. Again, ease of use and flexibility is what this company is all about.
