[CODING] A question on XAPOBJS Patch

The patch states:

diff -uprN -x *.o ../src/act.comm.c ./act.comm.c
--- ../src/act.comm.c   Sat Jun 13 20:13:10 1998
+++ ./act.comm.c        Sat Jan  2 04:07:32 1999
@@ -307,6 +307,7 @@ ACMD(do_write)
     act("$n begins to jot down a note.", TRUE, ch, 0, 0, TO_ROOM);
     ch->desc->str = &paper->action_description;
     ch->desc->max_str = MAX_NOTE_LENGTH;
+    SET_BIT(GET_OBJ_EXTRA(paper),ITEM_UNIQUE_SAVE);
   }
 }

I look in act.comm.c  but it shows:

    /* we can write - hooray! */
    act("$n begins to jot down a note.", TRUE, ch, 0, 0, TO_ROOM);
    send_editor_help(ch->desc);
    string_write(ch->desc, &paper->action_description, MAX_NOTE_LENGTH, 0,
backstr);


There is no:
     ch->desc->str = &paper->action_description;
     ch->desc->max_str = MAX_NOTE_LENGTH;

But it uses a send_editor_help/string_write function.

Does this mean I can't use the patch?

I am using bpl17 Oasis 2.0

Thanks
