Bug fixes are often posted to the net in a kind of diff(1) format that
our diff(1) won't produce. It looks like this:
****oldfile****
----newfile----
***51,52***
---51,53---
some arbitrary code;
! sometimes with key characters at the start of a line;
Two questions:
1) How can I produce such a listing?
2) Is there a tool to automatically apply the patch?
