If you use the latest version of patch (patch-2.0 patchlevel 12), which is in X.V11R3/util/patch look at the documentation for the -N (causes patch to ignore patches that it thinks are reversed or already applied). I typically use a command like: patch -N -p < ~/x11r3fixes/1 Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark D.
