my guess would be that you have to view the .patch, and manually change
things. + means add that line, - means take that line away, and ! means
change that line (you will see what to when you scroll down, where it has a
! and the changed version of that line).
however, i have stumbled over a patch command for dos, i havent tried it
out yet, as i run under linux, but you might want to have a look:

Get and install a version of patch suitable for your OS. Under most
unicies, (including Linux) this is already available. For DOS, you
want
ftp://oak.oakland.edu/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/pat21b.zip
ftp://ftp.simtelnet.com/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/pat21b.zip
I don't know where a windows 95/nt version of patch resides, but the
DOS version should execute just fine. If you want to compile your own
version of patch, get it from
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/diffutils-2.7.tar.gz
hope this helps some :)
