Since the release of the diffs for hack v1.0.1, I have come to realize that it is nearly impossible to figure out where to stick in multiple changes when all you have is the original line numbers which go changing as you go patching. Is there a patch program out there which handles this kind of listing? Since there were not posted in context diff format, I assume that the the author figured we'd all have a reliable method for using what he gave us. Well, I don't. Anyone with a solution please mail me. thanks, tom -- Tom Christiansen University of Wisconsin Computer Science Systems Lab ...!{allegra,heurikon,ihnp4,seismo,uwm-evax}!uwvax!tom tom@wisc-ai.arpa

I got a patch program out of net.sources from a few months ago -- it worked fairly well (something like "version 1.2"?). I had to (1) note the changes I had made, (2) restore the original source, (3) apply the patches, (4) redo my changes. Ecch. Context diffs are much nicer, and I hope that the next hack diffs are in diff -c3 form.
