This I've tried with Patch v2.1 and v2.5, and bash, sh, ksh, and csh. Until I changed the whitespace in the patches to tabs, I couldn't get the patches to apply. What I had done earlier was manually modify the sources based on your patches and then run a diff -ruN against my changes. When I diff'd my patches against your patches, the only difference was that the source and I used tabs and your patches used spaces (perhaps due to Netscape's File Save function if you originally used tabs). I'm no expert on ports either - that's why I decided to test other's submissions and do some minor updating (I did the initial update of WindowMaker to 0.50.x and submitted my diffs to the maintainer). Just trying to help, if it turns out I've got something weird happening on my end - I hope to find out now before I actually 'do' start porting things on my own... ;-) Michael (MO!)
