Please see the file 'contrib/xdlt112/news' for +a complete list of changes. + +Here is a description of XDelta, from its 'readme' file: + +"XDelta is a library interface and application program designed to compute +changes between files. These changes (deltas) are similar to the output +of the "diff" program in that they may be used to store and transmit only +the changes between files. However, unlike diff, the output of XDelta is +not expressed in a human-readable format--XDelta can also also apply these +deltas to a copy of the original file(s). XDelta uses a fast, linear +algorithm and performs well on both binary and text files. XDelta +typically outperforms GNU diff in both time and generated-delta-size, even +for plain text files. XDelta also includes a simple implementation of the +Rsync algorithm and several advanced features for implementing RCS-like +file-archival with." + +XDelta is distributed under the GNU General Public License. + +The port is available from the DJGPP archive on SimTel.NET: + +http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/xdlt112b.zip&name=xdlt112b.zip +http://www.simtel.net/gnudlpage.php?product=/gnu/djgpp/v2apps/xdlt112s.zip&name=xdlt112s.zip + +These are binary and source distributions respectively. If you only want +to use XDelta, please download the binary distribution. If you would like +to rebuild XDelta, please download the source distribution. No changes +were required to port XDelta to DJGPP. + +Thanks to Joshua MacDonald for incorporating the DJGPP patches into +XDelta. Thanks to Eli Zaretskii for his detailed bug reports, suggestions +and testing of XDelta in the past. + +If you have any problems, suggestions, etc. about the port, please mail +me. + +Bye, + +-- +Richard Dawe +http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/ |
