INFORMATION ABOUT SNIPPETS APR 94 EDITION ========================================= Beginning with the Dec '92 edition, SNIPPETS is being distributed in two forms. The first, and most familiar, is the full SNIPPETS collection. As before it is named "SNIPdddd.xxx", where "dddd" is the release date and "xxx" is the archive utility extension. For example, I distribute the Apr '94 edition as SNIP9404.LZH, using the LHA.EXE archive utility. New to the Dec '92 release was SNIPDIFF, an archive containing both files and a utility to create a complete and fully-validated SNIPPETS archive using files from the last edition of SNIPPETS which haven't changed. This represents a considerable saving in the size of the archive and, consequently, the time required to download it from bulletin boards and public information services. Beginning the Apr '93 release, SNIPDIFF became even smaller with the inclusion of DSAPP.EXE which allows that only the differences for changed files need be included. DSAPP.EXE is a public domain utility for applying changes, written by David Burton, and which is distributed with his excellent TLIB revision control system.
