You really know how to make a guy feel like an idiot. I know its a patch, I've just never cared enough to find out how to use them, as E17s the first thing I have done from cvs, and I've never been in such a situation that I couldn't fix the code I was compiling myself...
'man patch' has some good info, but I guess what I'm really wanting to know is where to get information on the format of patch files so that i can understand better how to read them. I don't like the idea of just 'patch myfile' without knowing exactly whats getting changed, and the whole "+ lines add stuff and -lines remove stuff" is not explanitory enough, as there seems to be more information in those files than just that. I could be wrong, thats why I'm asking for clarification.
