Any reason you can't just make a copy of the unpatched source, apply all the patches, and then diff -urN the original with the patched version to create a fresh patch? Test by applying the newly created patch with the original to make sure that your patch and the original patch set produce the same result. -- Jay Berkenbilt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ql.org/q/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
