Author Tool for creating compact diffs for binary files
Hubinsky

Hello.
I would like to integrate an effective patch building (producing very
compact differences) for binary files into my application. Recently I
have found a nice solution - DF SDK by Agensoft
http://www.agensoft.com/dfsdk.html
Downloaded a free Demo - it works fine for me. The DF SDK itself is
provided in the form of a single DLL which also suits my needs and
moreover - as it is written on the authors website - they are giving a
200$ discount till 15 of December.

Could you please share you experience on this software product or even
suggest another noteworthy solution (sold at a reasonable price).

Thanks in advance.

We used to use RTPATCH from http://www.pocketsoft.com/index.htm - but it
was 5 years ago, and there might be something better by now.
