When I got back from my trip I read your note again, and realized that I should have saved the file containing the patch instead of using the clipboard to copy and paste the patch. I tried this today, and got rid of the malformed patch messages. However, the patch still failed. I saved the email to avision030712.diff, deleted the extraneous lines, saved, and executed: [tom@localhost backend]$ pwd /home/tom/rh9-downloads/sane-backends-1.0.12/backend [tom@localhost backend]$ patch -p0 < ./avision030712.diff patching file avision.c Hunk #1 FAILED at 82. Hunk #18 FAILED at 3053. Hunk #23 FAILED at 3194. Hunk #24 FAILED at 3215. 4 out of 25 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file avision.c.rej [tom@localhost backend]$ I was unable to figure out what to do with the rejected hunks. I'll send avision.c.rej separately. Please send me a patch that is easier for me to apply. Thanks, Tom Frayne
