If I don't have the patch command >is there any way I can use that type of patch file? <SNIP> 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: (taken from howpatch.txt, by Kyle R. Hofmann <rhofmann@crl.com>) 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 :) +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
