I'm using Cygwin on Windows 7 x64 and when I run just 'patch', it

fine. I'm not sure why this is happening.
Any help getting this working?
Are you sure to have read the manual ?
From "man patch"
---------------------------------------------
NAME
patch - apply a diff file to an original
SYNOPSIS
patch [options] [originalfile [patchfile]]
but usually just
patch -pnum <patchfile
[cut]
------------------------------------------------
if you give no patchfile "patch" is waiting the diff
from stdin, so it is not hanging at all
