Actually, it seems we request context diffs (-c), presumably because they are easier to read [http://www.boost.org/more/bugs.htm]. And when creating patches, it's always a good idea to check that one's favorite editor hasn't inserted tabs or changed the line endings (the latter is the case with the submitted multi_array files). Additionally, creating patches using the latest files from CVS makes them very easy to apply. [This "What is a patch, anyway?" is a good question; I'll add some additional patch instructions to "Report Bugs" subsection.] Bjorn ___ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
