> William Stein As I made clear, I doubt anyone would go around changing the patches which are currently patched with 'cp'. Only when they need to be patched again would anyone change the method of applying a patch. Gradually over time, the number of patches applied with 'cp' would decrease and the number with 'patch' increase. If you look at this thread, and the other on Singular, you will find a large number of people believe adding 'patch' is a good idea, these include, but are probably not limited to: Myself François Bissey John Cremona Adam Webb Ivan Andrus Jason Grout Others have expressed dismay at the way the patching currently works. Anyway, its your project. I can live with using 'cp' - I just don't think it is a very good idea.
