These changes (deltas) are similar to the output of the "diff" +xdelta: program in that they may be used to store and transmit only the +xdelta: changes between files. However, unlike diff, the output of Xdelta is +xdelta: not expressed in a human-readable format. +xdelta: Xdelta uses a fast, linear algorithm and performs well on both binary +xdelta: and text files. +xdelta: +xdelta: |
