This *is* a bug. The `patch' command recently changed its command-line specification in a non-backward-compatible manner. In my opinion this is just stupid lossage. It broke some of my custom patching tools as well. This ought to be fixed ASAP, IMHO. (Note that I believe you need -b as well as -z; -z by itself is not sufficient as far as I know.) -- Ben Pfaff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12167 Airport Rd, DeWitt MI 48820, USA *Note*: New PGP key available at http://www.msu.edu/user/pfaffben/pgp.html -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
