This should read once corrected 'but > usually just patch -pnum <patchfile>'. The manpage documents the correct way of usage, patch reads the standard input and doesn't handle non-option arguments. As such '<' stands for redirect to standard input. If you use 'patch -pnum /path/to/your/diff' then patch will wait on you to type in the diff yourself from the keyboard. If you have time, you can test it. Regards, Laszlo/GCS -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
