UIPS is a command-line based utility for creating or applying IPS patches.
10
IPS is a fairly simple patch file format which stores the differences between
11
two binary files.

34
Compile UIPS.C if necessary, or download one of the precompiled executable

Run UIPS with no parameters to see a simple usage reference.  Here are some
38
examples of how to use it:

* To create PATCH.IPS which converts SOURCE.FIL into TARGET.FIL:
41
 
42
  uips c PATCH.IPS SOURCE.FIL TARGET.FIL
43
 
44
* To create PATCH.IPS which can convert either SOURCE1.FIL or SOURCE2.FIL
45
  into TARGET.FIL:
46
 
47
  uips c PATCH.IPS SOURCE1.FIL SOURCE2.FIL TARGET.FIL
48
 
49
* To apply PATCH.IPS to ANOTHER.FIL:
