	This may seem like a silly question, but is there an easy way
to update my GNU emacs src by using the diff files that are provided
on prep?  My knowledge of diff is limited, but I do know that there
are a number of output forms, one is an ed script, another is with
lines of context (which is what the diffs on prep are).  I can't see,
aside from manually editing, how these diffs can be applied to my
existing sources.  Am I missing some concept, some peice of software?
It seems to me that the "ed script" form would have been better suited
to be the form for the diff files, but again maybe I'm missing
something. 
	I know about rcp, BTW, I just want to know about the diffs.
