============================== F E A T U R E S ==============================
Spatch is a tool, that allows you to update an old version of any software
to a better one. All you need is a Spatch executable program and a patch
file (#?.pch) created by the developper of the updated software.
- standard DOS template (space after option incompatibility)
- message chunk support using iffparse
- no window in shell mode anymore
- different return code
============================ R E Q U I R E M E N T ==========================
Spatch tested and apparently works on the following configurations:
- IcarOS i386 (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0)
- AROS One i386 (Kickstart 51.51, Workbench 40.0, AROS ABIv0)
Unfortunately I couldn't find suitable sources and patches to be completely
sure. Scompare which creates patches doesn't exist in the open source, and
there is a potential problem with Little-endian for i386, x86_64 CPU here.
================================= U S A G E =================================
spatch [-o=<output_file> -p=<patch_file>] <oldfile>
The following options are valid for spatch:
-o - specify the name of the output file.
-p - specify the name of the patchfile.
