Run the JFP class, which can easily be done by executing the "Drive.bat" batch file on a Windows machine.

A dialog will appear (assuming you have Java appropriately installed) asking if you want to make a patch instead of applying one.

If you pick yes:

The application will ask for the file you want to make a patch for, the altered file and finally where to save the patch.

Another note; if you're MAKING a patch you should include a separate JFP patch that corrupts all of the data the changes in your original JFP refer to, but don't modify, and ask users to "apply but don't use this patch" as a way of ensuring that no data used by the intended changes is corrupt.

"Apply but don't use" means things like "apply to a back up of the intended file and not the intended file itself" or "apply and then unapply" etc.

If you pick no:

The application will ask for the patch you want to patch with, the file to patch and finally where to save the result.

Refer to the ".." directory for information on the patch format.

Debug output should appear in this director in a file named "out.log".

Exceptions will be reported through the GUI.

~~~~~

Command line support is has been added to this implementation.

For example, the first argument given may be "APPLY" or "MAKE" to answer the first dialog appropriately, automatically.

Another option is available which is for debugging purposes ("TEST_VLI") that is most likely uninteresting for an end user.

To see examples of how to use the patcher from the command line, look at the "Test.bat" script.
