SSMILLER@CIM-VAX.HONEYWELL.COM (SCOTT MILLER) (03/09/88)

Is there are program available that can be used to apply the DIFF files
for GNU emacs to the source, to automagicially make the next version?
If so, where can I ftp it from?  Thanks.

The name of the program is "patch" version 2.0 written by Larry Wall.
It was in Volume 7 of mod.sources.

I got my copy via e-mail (I do not have ftp) from the CSNET INFO SERVER

	% mail info-server@sh.cs.net
	Request: mod.sources
	Topic: patch2
	Request: end

For ftp access you could try uunet.uu.net anonymous ftp look in
~ftp/comp.sources.unix/volume7 

or you could try j.cc.purdue.edu look in ~ftp/news/comp/sources/unix/volume7 

Good luck,
