Now that I received a copy of the Patch program, does anyone have the
documentation? Sure would be nice to have....
Thanx in advance..

Hi.  Does anyone have the source code for patch?  My machines do not
have it, and as such, I cannot apply patches or upgrades.  Please point
me in the direction of an anonymous ftp site, and I will greatly
appreciate it.


Thanks,

  Uunet.uu.net has it in the comp.sources.unix archives in the directory
/comp.sources.unix/volume7/patch2.

  Uunet is a good place to start when you're looking for software.  Ftp to it
and retrieve ls-ltR.Z, which is a list of all the files in the archive.  Or,
get the "index" file from the /comp.sources.unix directory.

  Or, telnet to quiche.cs.mcgill.ca, log in as "archie," and type "prog patch"
when you get a prompt.  Of course, you're going to get a lot of superfluous
entries this way, so you might want to script the telnet output and look
through it in an editor to find the relevant entries.

  The point I'm trying to make, if it isn't obvious :-), is that there are a
lot of places and ways to look for source code before posting a request to the
net.  I'm posting this message instead of E-mailing it because I think it's
useful to point this out on the net.
