Ambriola at the time the invention was made, as the references
are contradictory and teach away from each other. Appellant
notes Tichy's teaching of a Revision Control System (RCS)
which, in performing version control, stores revisions in the
form of
reverse deltas. He then points to Tichy's specific statement4
