Description

It calculates the difference between two (or more) similar files: a new version and several old versions. When you release a new version, you might want to offer a patch update to the users, instead of including the entire file again. So you include the small patch file generated by VPatch in your installation, together with the VPatch runtime DLL for NSIS (which is 8 KB), and you save your users a lot of downloading.
