GenPat - A program to create patch files in VPatch format.

GenPat [-R] [-B=64] [-V] [-O] [-A=500] [source] [target] [patch.pat]

This manual page documents briefly the GenPat command.

This manual page was written for the Debian (TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in the HTML format; see below.

GenPat is a program that creates installer programs for Windows.

-V

-O
