patch from file A version 1 to file A version 2 and a patch from file B version 1 to
file B version 2. Just call the plug-in multiple times with the same patch file. It
will automatically select the right patch (based on the file CRC).</p>

<p class="subheader">NSIS plug-in (C++)</p>
<p class="text">The source of the NSIS plug-in that applies patches can be found in the
Source\Plugin folder.</p>
<p class="subheader">Patch Generator (Delphi)</p>
<p class="text">The most interesting part of VPatch, the actual patch generation algoritm,
can be found in Source\GenPat\PatchGenerator.pas. The header of that file contains a brief
explanation of the algoritm as well.</p>
<p class="subheader">User interface (Delphi)</p>
<p class="text">A user interface is included as well, which you will have to build yourself
because the GUI executable was too large to include. Besides Borland Delphi 6 or higher,
you will also need to install the <a href="http://www.delphi-gems.com">VirtualTreeView</a>
component by Mike Lischke.</p>
