If patch is a *nix > tool then I am in the dark, we have no such docs available. Here's a DCL file I used to patch 5.9C. I copied the News 5.9 sources and the 5.9C .DIFF files to a directory (yes, on the same disk as sys$scratch) and executed this file. Everything seemed to update fine. Beware the logical UTL:, it's where we put our utilities. $ set noon $ patch := $utl:patch $ rename newsmail.c newsvmsmail.c $ context = 0 $loop: ! loop for all .diff files $ dif = f$search("*.diff",context) $ if dif .eqs. "" then exit $ name = f$parse(dif,,,"name") + f$parse(dif,,,"type") ! make short filename $ open file 'dif' $ read/end_of_file=empty file line ! read the diff file header $ start = f$locate("]",line) + 1 $ dest = f$extract(start,f$length(line)-start,line) ! extract filename $ read/end_of_file=empty file line $ read/end_of_file=empty file line ! test for empty diff files $ write sys$output "patching ''dest'" $ patch 'dest' 'name''type' $empty: ! .diff file contains header only, skip patch $ close file $ goto loop If you need patch.exe, it's on gray.cerritos.edu for anonymous ftp. -Bruce -- Bruce Tanner (213) 860-2451 x 596 Tanner@Cerritos.EDU Cerritos College Norwalk, CA cerritos!tanner
