I got a copy of trn from urth.acsu.buffalo.edu. It came with a set of
patches in a file called trn.patch1. Now, the problem is,that I cannot 
figure out how to apply these patches. I have tried the patch program 
in the form

      patch < trn.patch1

but all I get is

      Hmm...  I can't seem to find a patch in there anywhere.

The patch file looks like this

      Index: patchlevel
      Prereq: v1.0
      @@ -1,1 +1,1 @@
      -Trn v1.0
      +Trn v1.0.1
      Index: Configure
      @@ -4,7 +4,10 @@
      =# shell scripts, Configure will trim # comments from them for you.
      =#
      -# $Header: Configure,v 4.3.3.1 90/07/24 21:56:31 davison Trn $
      +# $Header: Configure,v 4.3.3.2 90/08/20 16:09:59 davison Trn $
      .
      .etc

Could somebody tell me how this patch file was generated and, more to the
point, how to apply it.  It does not seem to be one of the standard diff
output formats.

Any help greatly appreciated.
