Anyway, do patch relay/sh/anne.jones < cnpatch/tmp.file.rej patch relay/relaynews.c < cnpatch/tmp.file.rej.orig If you already rm'ed cnpatch, the rejected patches are right after a line containing '* 0 *' which is not preceded by a very-long-name (in the old patch file, not the patched patch file...). -- Amos Shapir amos@taux01.nsc.com or amos@nsc.nsc.com National Semiconductor (Israel) P.O.B. 3007, Herzlia 46104, Israel Tel. +972 52 522261 TWX: 33691, fax: +972-52-558322 34 48 E / 32 10 N (My other cpu is a NS32532)
