Sorry, but I couldn't understand much of the jargon above! (well, not much
.. but atleast that steganography part .... ;-)
The patch is applied using the "patch" program itself. "man patch" gives
you the way to use it .. but in most of the cases, "patch -p0 <patchfile"
works.
The patch file is created using "diff -Naur <old> <new>" (taken directly
from "man patch"!). The output is on stdout, so > it to a file (any name),
say new.patch
Apply it using "patch -p0 < new.patch" in the same directory relative to
the new and old files from whom the patch file was created.
Does that answer part of your question?
