NAME

       GenPat - A program to create patch files in VPatch format.

SYNOPSIS

       GenPat [-R] [-B=64] [-V] [-O] [-A=500] [source] [target] [patch.pat]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the GenPat command.

       This manual page was written for the Debian (TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has
       documentation in the HTML format; see below.

       GenPat is a program that creates installer programs for Windows.

       -R

	   Set blocksize (default=64), multiple of 2 is required.

       -V

       -O
	   Deactivate match limit of the -A switch (sometimes smaller patches).

       -A=500
