Thanks. However, since we are working with a git repository, the most preferred solution is to check the repository out, apply the patches, then simply say git diff > diff-file Alternatively, people who work with the tarball should expand it twice, namely into `groff.old' and `groff.new', for example, then applying changes to `groff.new', then saying diff -ruN groff.old groff.new > diff-file Werner
