Platform Specifics

DOS/Windows 3.x: None.

Win32: None.

Lookup of patch targets via registry is supported. Windows and System directory may be targets to look files to be patched in.

SCO Unix and Linux: Current implementations do not auto-find patch file targets doing a global search. Also Unix does have case-sensitive filenames. This can be problematic when applying patches files created on another platforms that do not distinguish case. Settings permissions of the created patch file is supported.

OS/2: The so-called "extended attributes" (EA) of OS/2 are included with GenPatch's option "-A". Applying EAs to patched or embedded files will only work with DoPatch for OS/2, while other platforms DoPatches will apply such patches with no problem, the EAs will simply not set then and skipped in the process.
