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? ------------------------- Charles Lambert ukc!datlog!dlhpedg!cl
