Hi,

FileDiff only does text file diff's and won't do a patch file.

For Windows, a search in www.winfiles.com for "patch" turned up
 from http://winfiles.cnet.com/apps/98/program-misc.html:
  RLN PatchMaker
    (http://www.act-consult.com/Patchmaker/patchmaker.zip)
  Clickteam Patch Maker
    (http://207.106.84.184/~webftp/files/Patch_Maker/PMUS12r.exe)

 from http://winfiles.cnet.com/apps/98/file-repair.html
  WinPatch
    (http://www.artistryinsoftware.com/products/winpatch/wpatch12.exe)
    appears to create whole dir. tree patch files at once

Anyway, i didn't use these yet, but i believe "patch" is the keyword for
looking for such programs for Linux or MacOS, too, if needed.
