The output of cvs diff -c should be very usable by patch, that is what the Index lines are added for. There use to be problems in that patch would pick the wrong path to the file, this has been fixed in a recent version of patch that gives the Index line higher precedence than the other pathnames. > > > I can provide the changes as diffs if you need them that way; I'll warn > > > you that you'll be in exactly the same boat applying them as the original > > > diff sets I sent (that's why I went to the trouble of sup + cvs + ...). > > > > err why? > > See above.

If this is true again then either cvs or patch needs some work. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
