Dear Paul, Thank you for the prompt response.
In terms of being able to follow up with GIT DIFF, you need to remember that I am a newbie. I have no idea even what that it, let alone being able to reformat anything with it. I did a search on Yahoo and got over 8 and a half million hits on that combination. Hopeless, no doubt. The easy way to see the text is to just put it into a text editor and let no word-wrap be in effect. It was formatted beautifully when I was writing it. I spent a lot of time making the columns align and putting the experiments in logical groupings. I figured on hitting someone's frustration level a lot earlier. Thanks for listening so far, anyway. All the best to you and yours, Abdallah Clark On Wed, Nov 9, 2011 at 12:59 PM, Paul Eggert <egg...@cs.ucla.edu> wrote: > On 11/09/11 03:37, abdallah clark wrote: >> I was wondering if you received my very detailed account > > Yes, I got it, and I'm afraid that it was long enough and > required enough thinking that it got put into my TO-DO > list, which is a very bad place to be (I have hundreds of > items in it....). > > What I was hoping for, is a specific proposed patch to the > coreutils, in the format generated by "git diff".
