Hi!

Sometimes I have to fix a problem with a customer and it involves patching an .exe or .DLL. Usually the changes are minor, but I want to keep a copy of the changes. For example I change 30 bytes of a program of 6 megs. Is there a program that will compare the original with the new one and create an EXE that will patch files that are have the same issue.

Microsoft is pretty good with getting patches out quickly, but there are smaller companies who aren't as fast and it is really frustrating.

Any thoughts about a program that could do it?

Thanks,

David
