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.This method has two distinct advantages:1. Very small update patches, independent of the size and number of files of the original installation. 2. Ultimate protection of the update - as most of the data is not stored in the update patch, it is impossible to steal your software unless you already possess a previous versions of the software.Patch Maker is the complementary product of Clickteam Install Maker. They share the same professional-looking interface and the same ease of use. If you have used Install Maker you will feel right at home with Patch Maker.This is a complete version of Patch Maker with unlimited rights to produce updates for both commercial and non commercial products. Each patch will contain an advertisement page for Clickteam when the patch is complete, with a button to connect to our web site. The idea is that we are quite happy to let Patch Maker go for free as long as you do a little advertising for us in return.... And that final advertisement is all we ask. There are absolutely no limitations in the functionality, and none of those annoying "nag screens" in the main software.You can visit our website for details on purchasing a version without the AD at the
