UpdateMaker 2.2

UpdateMaker 2.2 is an improved descendant of UpdateMaker 1.3.  It features:

• Multiple-version updates. UpdateMaker 2.2 updates can convert any one of several "old" files into the  "new" file. For example, one update can change Word 4.0A or Word 4.0B or Word 4.0C into Word 4.0D.

• Smaller update files. UpdateMaker 2.2 is generally more intelligent and can track resources that change ID. It also uses a more compact file format. UpdateMaker 2.2 updates are typically 10-20% smaller than their UpdateMaker 1 equivalents. In some cases they can be 50% smaller.

• More control. UpdateMaker 2.2 has three resource override lists, including a new copy-if-present override category, plus control over what stand-alone applications name the new file and do with the old file when the update completes.

• Better stand-alone applications. UpdateMaker 2.2 applications have a progress bar and a cancel button, support AppleEvents, and can use customised opening and closing dialogs designed by the update author.

• Saves and reads BinHex format. UpdateMaker 2.2 will directly read and write files in this popular form for network distribution.

• International updaters. UpdateMaker 2.2 can make updaters correctly localised in nine European languages, plus Japanese.

• Code extensions. UpdateMaker 2.2 supports custom code extensions for dealing with unusual updating problems. A sample extension for decompressing VISEd applications is provided.

• Numerous other minor user interface improvements, such as version number displays and user note editing during and after a build.

• Not shareware. UpdateMaker 2 is a fully supported commercial application, with a manual.
