[comp.os.minix] help with diff files

hysell@kodak.UUCP (John Hysell) (07/21/89)

Can someone give me a short cut to applying all the diff files
to 1.2 PC minix?  I brought over the tar files collection from  BUGS.NOSC.MIL
and successfully (I think) addedd the new files to my directory structure,
but the patch.dif file is nearly 400,000 byte long.  It is not a context-	-sensitive diff format, and I really don't want to apply it all by hand.
I have thought of using split to break it down into manageable pieces, but
I don't know how to make patch apply old style diffs.

Any help will be appreciated...   thanks; -John Hysell  (hysell@kodak.com)
