Windows Interface Patch files

When you choose to create a executable patch files using option "-s", GenPatch creates a patch file that applies itself using a commandline interface. But when you are using the Windows platforms of BinPatch, you may choose option "-s=gui" instead and create a patch file with windows interface. This interface will be more natural and familiar to the majority of endusers.

The windows interface is available for both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95/NT. The GenPatch option "-s=gui" will use the "native" DoPatch of the platform. So using "-s=gui" with the DOS/Win3.1 version of GenPatch, you will create a patch file for Windows3.1 and using the Win95/NT version, you will create a patch file that requires Windows95/NT to be run. You may choose option "-s=gui16" to tell the Win95/NT version of GenPatch to create a patch file to be run on both Windows3.1 and Windows95/NT.
