Every time I apply patches I have to go read the manual again, and there isn't a wealth of examples. A meager but helpful reference is: http://www.network-theory.co.uk/articles/patchintro.html Probably the best advice is to first try: the '--dry-run' option to experiment with the options until a combination is found that works. For example using just patch --dry-run -i japanese.diff doesn't work, ie patch couldn't figure out that the patch was created with the '-u' option. So this combination works most of the time: patch --dry-run -u -p0 -i japanese.diff Then when the patch applies cleanly the '--dry-run' can be safely removed and the patch applied for real. -Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
