You've already patched them, that's what *patch < blah* does.
Check for *.rej files, look in them, read the man page for patch, get
yourself a *strong* coffee and then hand patch the contents of the rej
files.
Or better still :
replace your new files with a backup from before you applied the patch
(you *do* have a backup don't you?!)
then go through the patch file and patch the whole thing by hand, although
this will take you a good hour or so for dg_events.
Why do I say this is better?
Well, if you do it all by hand, you'll get a far better understanding
of the code, and you may prevent errors that can sometimes creep in
with patching already modified code.
Happy Patching
Phil
