[MISC] Making a patch

From: Elvis Mohan (elvis@hal9000.trinidad.net)

Hi...

	I would please like to know how to create
a patch file using diff...

	You see I run this MUD that has a lot of
updates (my on coding) and I want to add some of the
stuff on the ftp site in it, and I notice that the
patches there are for the raw circle code and I
*dont* want to have to manually add it in, So
what I'm doing is this: I got the patches I wanted
and the original code and patched it up, now I
want to be able to do a diff between my code and
the patched code and then patch up my code.

Can anyone help me ? I am unfamiliar with how to
use diff ...

Any help appreciated.
