Is there a better way? CVS? The 'diff -r' should handle this fine. Are you running the 'diff -r' in the same relative location to where you are running the 'patch' command or using the -p option correctly? Are your running the diff(1) command someplace where you have different directory name in between the pwd and the source files than on the machine you run patch(1)? -- Crist J.
