Creating A Patch

I have been reading your Beta tester post, spamguy, and I noticed one most paste a picture into ResEdit to play your latest version of BN. I was wondering...
Aschaaf_86's patch of MASCOT created a duplicate MASCOT with his additions. Would this be possible to do with, say, Ferazel's Sprites? This would make for smaller downloads. And would require less, work on the part of the user.

Does anyone know how to make a patch?

I think you would need some programming skill. At best you would be able to use AppleScript, but I don't know AppleScript, and ResEdit probably isn't supported. Prove me wrong though.

Aschaaf_86 uesd (I think) ResCompare. It can quickly and (mostly) painlessly create patches, but they are limited to "change this file to this file by changing these bytes" style.

Is that hard?

If you read a little about it (from the Read Me), not really. It is a little limited, like I said, so (for an example) you would have to write seprate patches to upgrate 'Product X' from 1.0 to 1.2 and 1.1 to 1.2.
