Note that you can use the -i option instead of command-line redirection. I also recommend doing a dry run first: $ patch --dry-run -p1 -i mbaddfull123.patch Then remove the --dry-run qualifier and run again if all went well. On VMS, I recommend defining a symbol other than "patch" in order to avoid confusion with the native patch utility. I use "gpatch" for GNU patch. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
