Applying patches to binaries, hmmmmm. Sounds a bit difficult.
It's actually quite simple, you do a compare between the old binary and the new and the patch contains only the differences. It's a very effective way to do patches in a non dll type world because it's efficient size wise and it requires that you already have the product so manual verification isn't necessary. I think it would work well for Cisco's IOS patch requirements. Geo.
