Summary: We are utterly clueless Message-ID: Date: 7 Mar 91 10:38:51 GMT Sender: @lynx.CS.ORST.EDU Organization: Oregon State University, Computer Science Dept Lines: 32 Nntp-Posting-Host: jacobs.cs.orst.edu A somewhat unique problem has cropped up here at the public access machines at Oregon State University. We are a group of people who are learning how to compile utilities for general system use. One of the things we are unfamiliar with is how to implement patches. There are many things that we want to do, however, that involve patches. Here's an example...a personal use I'd like to do. I know of places where the source for the game Ularn is availible. In perusing the shell archives, at one time I noted three patches: two to correct defciencies in the code, and a third (the one I want most for) that converts it to an MSDOS execut- able program. How would I implement the patches? I'm fairly clear on running the compiler and getting through the bugs in the Makefile. Since this may be a bit too "beginner" for this group, I think email to kleinj@jacobs.cs.orst.edu would be most appropriate. I didn't think it was basic enuff for news.newusers.questions, tho'... advTHANKSance, -Justin the Blue- through the kind courtesy of the public access machines at Oregon State University, Corvallis Oregon.
