What is happening is patch is seeing the Makefile in the root of the port.cat dir instead of the looking at Makefile's in the myport & myport/files subdirectories. patch finds the other files and patches them with no problems. Now if I move myport subdir to another subdir with out a Makefile in the root, it will patch the port. Scot
