Jim,
So it is basicaly a look up in the man pages for patch, then run a make
after the changes have been added manually line by line as the diff's
have indicated ?
I have the Slackware linux (big complete book) so it may have it
in there too.
diff -c <name.c.old> <name.c> > name.patch
a command like..
patch -p0
or
patch -cr
Any ideas for someone who is totaly in the dark on diffs (who feels
that he has a patch over each eye) ?
Many thanks
Matt
