			'''nsisPatchGen'''

			The nsisPatchGen utility recursively compares two directory structures looking for changes to the files and subdirectories. It produces an NSIS include file containing functions that will perform a patch upgrade from the original structure to the new.

			nsisPatchGen uses the VPatch genpat.exe utility to generate patch files, and calls VPatch plugin function calls from the generated NSIS file.

			nsisPatchGen can be downloaded from:
