	* PatchFX Generator v1.10 *
	***************************

What does PatchFX do?
=====================
PatchFX Generator is a windows interface letting you easily generate standalone-patches by comparing two files. The generated EXE (also Win32) has your logo, description (RTF) and readme (RTF) in one singled EXE file.

PatchFX (Generator) is completly free. Because of this it'd be nice if you give credit to me.


*Important Notes:*
=================
* RTFs may contain author information (e.g. RTFs written in MS Word) as real name etc...! Use wordpad or don't fill Word's user information.


Contents
========
This package must at least contain these both files:
* "PatchFX Generator.EXE"
* "PatchFX.RES"

Copy them into ONE directory and run "PatchFX Generator.EXE" ... that's it.


Additional notes
================
* ORIGINAL FILE: this file's name is used to determine which file to search for being patched. So don't rename it or the users'll have some trouble finding the right EXE to patch...

* LOGO: the logo has to be a Windows BMP (x<=320, y<=90, 4 or 8bit palette). If your BMP is smaller than 320x90 the upper-left pixel's color will be the background color. 

* DESCRIPTION & README: your text has to be a real richtext (.RTF) , no plain text or anything else. U can use Wordpad or MS Word for example to make/edit a RTF. But watch out, (e.g.) MS Word adds some creator info (possibly your real name!) into the RTF.

* FILESIZE: the generated PatchFX is about 65kb. Depending on your BMP-logo the RTFs and the amount of bytes to patch. The packed size (here:WinZIP 7.0) should be 14-24kb. If u want to make a real small EXE (14kb) u should do some tricks to reduce da BMPs size.

* PATCH FILENAME: name of the generated PatchFX. Default is PATCHFX.EXE.

* ICON: guess what? The apps icon. Don't use multiple icons (different sizes in one .ICO file) or icons larger than 32x32 at 16 colors.


News (since v1.00)
==================
* fixed some bugs in generator

* Reduced PatchFX.EXE to 62kb (uncompressed) by completely rewriting it in pure C using WinAPI directly.
