It produces a set of copy/insert instructions that tell how to reconstruct the file as a -sequence of copies from the FROM file and inserts from the delta itself. +sequence of copies from the FROM file and inserts from the delta itself. In this regard, the program is much closer to a compression program than to a diff program. However, the delta is not "compressed", in that the delta's entropy H(P) will be very similar to the entropy of the portions |
