I am patiently waiting for my copy of ST MINIX. What thing that I don't understand is how does one use cdiff or diff listing to repair or correct source files? Can this be done automatically or does this have to done by hand?

There is a program written by Larry Wall called patch that accepts the original file and cdiffs and produces a repaired file. That program is not part of MINIX-ST, but no doubt there is some ST hacker who will port it. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)

I got my copy from Jwahar Bammi, (bammi@dsrgsun.ces.cwru.edu) compiled with GCC for Minix. Works pretty well. -- / /_ , ,_.
