COMPAT v1.1 - Patch Combiner
Written By Stephen Crowley

Usage: compat first.pat second.pat combined.pat 
       [-a1|-a2|-a3] [-b] [-zdefault.pat]

FIRST.PAT and SECOND.PAT are combined and written to COMBINED.PAT.

-a1      If both patches modify the same thing then
                automatically use data from FIRST.PAT

-a2      If both patches modify the same thing then
                automatically use data from SECOND.PAT

-a3      If both patches modify the same thing then abort.

-b       Automatically create Description and Creator. (no prompt)

-z       Use this patch file instead of "default.pat"

This is a nice little utility to combine D2 patches together into 1 patch.
It is pretty simple.  Just supply the two filenames and the output filename
and it'll do it.

***CHANGES FROM 1.0***
1.0 Had a serious bug in it.  It won't mess anything up, but it will not
combine the patches correctly and the prompt wouldn't work right either.
Sorry I didn't notice this sooner.

Examples:
1.      compat mw2.pat tuffguys.pat mwtuff.pat -a1

Combines mw2.pat and tuffguys.pat to form mwtuff.pat automatically
        using data from mw2.pat

2.      compat ghost.pat realwimp.pat wmpghost.pat -a2 -b

Combines ghost.pat and realwimp.pat to form wmpghost.pat automatically
        using data from realwimp.pat. It creates the Desc&Creator aotomatically.

3.      compat mw2.pat army.pat realbad.pat -a3 -zdflt19.pat

Combines mw2.pat and army.pat to make realbad.pat. If both patches have
        different data in something, it will abort. It uses dflt19.pat to
        compare the differences between the two patches.
