I have GNU emacs 18.35 on a Sun 3/160. I tried to apply the
diffs to get to 18.36, but this bombed:
Hmm... The next patch looks like a context diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -rc2 dist-18.35/etc/yow.lines dist-18.36/etc/yow.lines
|*** dist-18.35/etc/yow.lines Wed Dec 31 15:05:25 1986
|--- dist-18.36/etc/yow.lines Thu Jan 8 12:34:10 1987
--------------------------
Patching file etc/yow.lines using Plan A...
Premature "---" at line 345--check line numbers at line 342.
I'm running patch 2.0, with patches 1-7 installed. The diffs for
18.36 were obtained from mit-prep via ftp, from the file
diffs-18.35-18.36.tar.Z. Has anyone else had this difficulty?
Are the diffs busted (a technical term :-), or have I done
something wrong? Replies via mail, please. Thanks,
