+# MojoPatch
+
+A standalone tool for updating applications in the field.
+
+This was a crucial piece of infrastructure to me, back when people
+would install a video game off a disc, and then later manually
+download patches for that game.
+
+This was used for several Mac OS X titles I worked on. This code
+would likely need some updates for modern systems (it used the
+Carbon API, which is a giant no-no in these later years, for
+example), and with some small effort could likely target Windows
+and Linux as well.
+
+But in an age of broadband, package managers and app stores, it's
+not clear to me any maintenance on this package is worthwhile now.
+
+If you need it, though, feel free to steal what's useful. And I
+will always accept good patches.
