Help! I've got Minix 1.1 source on my Vectra's MSDOS HD. I've FTP'd the
diff stuff to convert from 1.1 -> 1.2 and from 1.2 -> 1.3. However, the
patch files that come in those tar packages seem to be of a different format
than the one that Minix's diff puts out. Specifically its got lines that
look like:
****************
*** 242,246
blah blah blah
--- 242,246 ----
blah blah blah blah
Now the Minix diff that I have (Erik's) puts out stuff that looks like:
12c12
< blah
< blah
< blah
> blah
> blah
> blah
> blah
Also the patch program that I have expects the diff to look like the second
example.
So how do I go about patching my 1.1 stuff to get it to 1.2 since the patch
file is in a different format than the patch program expects?
Incidently - I got the 1.1 -> 1.2 and 1.2 -> 1.3 diff packages from
bugs.nosc.mil.
Thanks a million for any help!
