QFE Patch by DragonX on 09-30-2005 at 04:38 AM
Hey Patchou, did u ever think of making QFE patches for Plus! ? I dunno, maybe it would be good to have for small updates or such. Anywho just a thought.

Plus isn't exactly a large file (not like messenger at 10/11Mb).
It would be nice, but not really necessary.

It would also complicate things too much.
Not to mention the confusion among less computer-illiterate people on what to download, on what to do or whatever.
QFE patches are only usefull in very large programs to ease some of the strain on downloadsize and only when there are only a few binary byte changes. They don't have any other usefullness...
(not to mention that, in case for Plus! and minor updates, the QFE patch will still be huge compared to the full installer update; binary compare two close related builds of Plus! and you'll see that not only some bytes have changed.)
