I've retreived the X11 R4 sources and unpacked the files from tapes 1 through 4. Now I am trying to apply the patches in the "fixes" directory, and can't seem to get the "patch" program to automatically recognize the name of the file-to-be-patched (which is in the patch file itself). Can anyone who has already done this let me know what I need to type in order to apply the patches? I'm stumped. == Dave Krowitz P.S. Yes, I am using the version of "patch" supplied in the ./mit/util directory.
