I did 'cvs diff lisp/bbdb.el' one directory above the lisp directory. It would have worked, if patch would be called from the same directory, or if patch was called inside the lisp directory like 'patch -p1 < patchfile', so the 'lisp/' part would be removed. (The -pNUM strips the smallest prefix containing NUM leading slashes from each file name found in the patch file.) Of course, the best would be, I call diff inside the lisp directory. Sorry for the confusion. Gerd _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bbdb-info BBDB Home Page: http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/
