If you would rather have a non-whitespace patch (as my earlier patches did with -BbuprN), I can make you one specially or you can do this (which is actually all I would be doing myself if you asked for one.) 1) untar two copies of circlemud 2) run configure on both 3) patch one of them (delete *.orig) 4) run 'diff -BbuprN oldcirclemud newcirclemud > newoasis.patch' -b --ignore-space-change Ignore changes in the amount of white space. -B --ignore-blank-lines Ignore changes whose lines are all blank. -u -U NUM --unified[=NUM] Output NUM (default 2) lines of unified context. -p --show-c-function Show which C function each change is in. -r --recursive Recursively compare any subdirectories found. -N --new-file Treat absent files as empty. Enjoy.
