[net.games.hack] patch source wanted

tom@uwai.UUCP (01/26/85)

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

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.
